No one saw the new CBA going after teams that signed players to long terms deals and penalizing them in every way. You take away those stipulations in the new CBA and keep the low cap for next season and I guarantee Gillis would be able to get a lot for Luongo and he would have been able to trade him sooner. If I'm going to fault Gillis on anything, its his timing of moving a goalie, but it was a direct result of the CBA which caused this mess.

As for the trade for the 9th pick. I think more people would have bitched if Luongo was bought out. Can't win with sports fans.
