Say what you want about him, but i'd take Lou in a heart beat.

Now getting him is another story.

**DewsSox79** · 07-06-2012, 03:31 PM

Cue the idiots to start saying "hes a headcase cuz we got in hiszzz headzz in the playoffz with big buff and stuffz" "he izzzzzzzzz on a rivalzz team I dont wantz a player from there, thztszzrttsz wrong"

**dabynsky** · 07-06-2012, 03:44 PM

What would you trade to get Luongo and what would the Canucks take in a deal?

**DewsSox79** · 07-06-2012, 04:05 PM

they will not get a lot in return. his cap hit is high and they are desperate to move him. Any team that wants him is in the driver seat, not the nucks. just dunno if the hawks would actually go for him.

Idk what it would take but they would have to take craw and frolik to make salary doable

Somebody asked for the idiot to show up, and here I am. I hate that fucktard. I don't want him. I'll go into the season with Emery and just count on losing in the playoffs. Luongo isn't ever going to win a Cup and I'd rather save the money.

There... I said it...

**Jntg4** · 07-06-2012, 04:19 PM

WTF @ last question

You can find a taker for crow and hammer. also sending frolik to rockford is an option to help the cap.

Vancouver will want something in return though. Lol

First off, this line from the story at Yahoo is gold:

Could he deal with 'Chelsea Dagger' in Chicago?

I don't like the move much myself, and I've made that known a few times.

However, he would be an upgrade over Crawford, at least the one we saw in 2011-12. He's been a great goalie for awhile, especially in the regular season.

Still, I'd be worried. Dews likes to use a lot of Zs talking about Luongo being a headcase but I think it's a valid concern.

There are also numbers that worry me with him. Specifically, in the last 3 postseasons, his save % has dropped from his regular season numbers.

2010 - .913 --> .895
2011 - .928 --> .914
2012 - .919 --> .891

He's like the NHL version of pre-2006 Peyton Manning right now. If the Hawks get him, fine. But forgive me if I wouldn't be oozing with confidence with him between the pipes.

But the Hawks winning the Cup with Luongo in net, and maybe even beating Vancouver on the way, could be the biggest

in the history of sports.

Which was my earlier questions. the point u was raising ostensiblis that Vancouver doesn't have to take salary back to make it work for the hawks cap.

**DewsSox79** · 07-06-2012, 06:13 PM

you cant take on salary in the NHL

Why not? A team would prob deal a pick foe crow if Vancouver didn't want him and frolik can be sent to rockford to take care of nearly all of luongo cap hit.

Would have to be a Campbell like deal if the Nucks want to be rid of him quicker.

So would frolik be olesz in this scenario? Throw in a pick to get Vancouver to bite?

LOL, at least in the history of Chicago sports.

But I'm sticking to my guns here.....trading for him is wrong on so many fronts, its ridiculous. I mean he's a Cap train wreck. Didn't we just dump another Cap killer in Campbell? I mean Bowman isn't the best GM right now, do the Hawks need to burden his ass any further with a tight cap. Plus how many goalies past their prime do we have to suffer through, I mean I've had my fill of the Bullins, Huets and Emerys....I'd really like to see them fund a goalie that's at least south of 30. I know the Hawks are in a bad spot with Crawford...I can't say I'm very confident in him myself, but I'd rather hope he turns it around than watch the Hawks put themselves back into Cap hell with an over the hill Luongo.

**icehogfan08** · 07-07-2012, 01:40 PM

Luongo will get you 40 wins with at least a .915 save %. I'll take a chance on him

**dabynsky** · 07-07-2012, 01:42 PM

The question is how much is that chance going to cost you? As has been discussed his cap number can be taken care of pretty easily with the current roster, but what does it take to get him from Vancouver?

**DMelt36** · 07-07-2012, 01:44 PM

Luongo's annual cap hit isn't what concerns me, it's his contract lasting through 2022 that does.

But like every long term NHL contract it is front loaded. The final four years of his deal he makes a total of 7 million. You can send him away in the final years of his deal to take care of the cap hit pretty painlessly.
