You're telling me that none of these bottom feeders would take Luongo with a nice cap hit to maintain their spot at the cap floor?
Luongo is amazingly consistent and relatively healthy, those like 3-4 years on top of what an equivalent or even below Lu goalie is getting is THAT much of a deterant from taking him on? That blows my fucking mind...

I agree completely, BUT, you cannot discount Lu's no trade clause. I bet that, despite the fact he obviously wanted out, I have a hard time believing he would have waived his no trade cause for just any bottom feeder team looking to sell jerseys with his name on it. I would imagine the list of teams that GMMG had to deal with was pretty damn short.
