| Avs-Fla, Wild-Kings make big deals, Luongo sulks Tanguay went to Florida for defenceman leopold. beefing up offence.
Demitra went to the Wild for their first round pick, 17th overall. Will compliment winger Gaborik. Paper calls Demitra a sniper.
Florida's busy.
Apparently Luongo was shocked to be traded yesterday, too. But hear this - he had three stipulations in his contract that I guess panther management decided were unreasonable:
he wanted the team to make a public statement that they would not trade him; he wanted Florida to hire Francois Allaire as his goaltender coach; and he wanted the Panthers to sign Jamie mcLennan as his backup goalie.
Who does he think he is, Tom Cruise?
Luongo said he didn't think these points were a big deal. Why would someone insist on a certain backup goalie?
So now the canucks have his rights but they still need to get him to sign a contract. |
