ZeroGravityFat Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I believe either: 1. Brodeur was really insulted by the offer. 2. A ruse that is hoping to occupy the energy/potential dollars of GM's interested in Parise. If the second is true, then say hello to our next GM.

Daniel Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He has to pay Melanie, at least 3.5 million over the next seven years. I'd be looking to see if someone wanted to pay me an extra 10 milion if I were in his shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Lou wouldn't lowball Marty. Marty may need a payday but he has to realize were tight on money and trying to re-sign the new face of our franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMazz Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 According to Andy Strickland's twitter page the Devils (should they lose Marty. Key word is SHOULD) might make a move for Lu. Help us all if Marty leaves and we take on that choke artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Wonderful, watch a guy that gets treated like a god walk out the door and replace him with a guy Devil fans ALREADY hate on sight, both because of the fact he's a rival for Marty on Team Canada, and because of his overinflated pads and choker reputation. They couldn't handpick a worse replacement for Marty, other than throwing a nameless kid in there. Edited July 1, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't see Marty signing somewhere else if it calls for playing the Devils regularly if he decides to leave. Chicago is a possibility as is Detroit out west. Perhaps Boston if he did sign with an eastern team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Default Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Without the Canadian pressure, and a decent defense in front of him Luongo could thrive here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Marty in a different uniform and Luongo in a Devils uniform would be enough to put me in an insane asylum. Add in Zach leaving, and yeah... Get me a straight jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help us all if Marty leaves and we take on that choke artist No no please no. Luongo has no mental toughness and can't play in tough spots. Marty in his prime could, he loved that time (ok maybe not playoff OT's so much). And then this past year he was back to old form and played his best when needed. Luongo folds and falls apart when it counts most. That would guarantee basically terrible Octobers and Novembers (he seems to be a slow starter), we'd be fine from then until April or so and out of the playoffs every year Luongo played here. No thank you. And what on earth would Vancouver want for him? Whatever it is, its not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on. Imagine it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't really want to get into this conversation until we have to but if we end up having to I'd rather have Luongo then most of the other goalies out there. At least we would have someone who we know puts up good numbers in the regular season. There aren't too many other options out there.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You can get a lot of goalies to put up numbers in the regular season that don't come with Lu's baggage. With his contract it HAS to work out or the Devils have tied themselves up for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as American as apple pie and Chevrolet, but I didn't even root against Marty then. I can honestly say I've NEVER rooted against him. Sure I wanted us to win gold in 2002, but I couldn't bring myself to actually cheer a goal against Marty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Makes zero sense for the amount of money he has to be paid and what you would have to give up to get him. What do you have to give up to get him? He has an albatross of a contract, especially for teams that want to spend long term. He also cannot play there next year because his mere existence is cancerous, even if he's a good guy. Luongo has "voltron junk trade" written all over him.

That makes sense since Chevys haven't been really American in years. and I rooted against Marty in the Olympics, country always comes before club for me.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) At most you'd probably have to give up Tallinder, plus one of our d-prospects or a pick and that might even be stretching it. And you could replace Tallinder by bringing back Sal. I mean hell, LAST time he was traded he only got Alex Auld and other junk in return, and he wasn't as toxic then as he is now. Getting him isn't the problem, having him is. Edited July 1, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake Vancouver made was signing Schneider to that extension BEFORE trading Luongo, because now they have $9 mil tied up in 2 goaltenders. They fvcked themselves even worse on a Luongo return. He'll go for peanuts when he goes, I have little doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver can afford to hold on to him until a good offer comes around. And if they were content with junk, he would have been traded a long time ago.
