Since this thread's been mute, I'll toss up some Luongo speculation. Why not...it's not like we've got hockey to discuss.
Edmonton has been rumoured -- can't see it. No way they deal within the conference. I just can't imagine. It might, however, give a bit of leverage (assuming the rumour has some truth to it).
This article: http://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2012/...go-sweepstakes gives some thoughts and insight into the Oilers rumour, but ends with a far more interesting point IMO. What if the lockout continues and the season disappears?
Suddenly there's a new crop of UFA goalies -- which could be good or bad for the Nucks:
-Jimmy Howard
-Jose Theodore
-Niklas Backstrom
-Evgeni Nabokov
-Mike Smith
-and some other less interesting ones
Good: it opens up some potential new destinations for Lu?
Bad: it floods the market.
Thoughts?
