He said talks are on hold. Which means they aren't talking right now until some one budges.

Good, it's such a waste to have this kid traded away after developing him nicely for the last 3 years.
Amen.
Why do people come here to dump unwanted players and get bailouts? Go bug another team's board with Luongo talk. Sheeesh

They've talked since Burke was fired and he wasn't fired too long ago
There's just not much urgency right now to get a deal done for either team.. yet

Mr. Gillis, you may have Komisarek and Colborne and thats it. If you don't like it tell your owners to go choke on Luongo's contract.
New to HF and this discussion, but I can't believe that so many Media "experts" are predicting a Luongo trade is inevitable. Surely a 33 yr old second string goalie with a toxic contract is not in the Leafs future. I think Rick Nattress is the only media person I've heard say much the same, so his credibility goes way up for me. John Shannon is sounding like a lost cause.
Wouldn't that be a nice price. My god if Nonis pulled that off he'd be a god in this city.

What's the problem? A top 5 pick would be a godsend.
Hasn't Nonis stated that he isn't looking to trade youth?
And why would you trade Frattin/Colborne... trading away decent prospects for aging vets is what got us into this mess in the first place.
Leafs fans just don't learn. The leafs are not a goaltender away from becoming a contender, I don't think we're even a goaltender away from becoming a playoff team. The kids need to stay in the system, no point in mortgaging the future for a 9th place finish.
I kind of want to run with Reimer. Screw Luongo.
Should grab some veteran netminder like Theodore or something to back Reimer up.

So it's starting to look like all of it was just talk and speculation. Nothing will happen and we won't be trading for Luongo. Reimer is a fine goalie, he might win a playoff spot. There are other goalies who have won even a Stanley Cup with these new rules immediately. Like Antti Niemi for example.

That's what I wanted all along. That's why I was upset when Burke didn't sign Vokoun, since apparently he had interest in coming here too. He would've been the perfect signing.

Inadvertent tanking by playing those two turds we have now would be fantastic for the franchise.

Hahah Theodore to back up Reimer. Why don't we put Kessel on the 4th line and move Orr up to the first. We could give Komi a rover role as well. Reimer as a starter hahah, good stuff.
Any goalie can win a Stanley Cup during this short season. Even a rookie. Antti Niemi won his Cup even though they were playing that full 82 game season then. It's not about the goalies nowadays anymore. If the team plays well then anybody can win with these rules and this type of league. And now with the 48 game season... this is going to be some lottery. Any team can go anywhere. On any given sunday, anything can happen.

lol antti Niemi was an exception, that team was an all-star team that still looks amazing even after a tonne of players left.
past 10-15 years the winnier 9 times out of 10 has had an all-star goalie.
