...beginnt gleich mal mit einer Hammermeldung.
Ist schon ein dickes Ding. Nicht nur, daß Vancouver sich einen der besten Goalies angelt, nein Florida erlaubt es sich ihm erst im letzten jahr seine Forderungen nicht zu erfüllen, es geht in Arbitration. Dann will er heuer verlängern, knüpft das an 3 Bedingungen. Diese werden nicht erfüllt und wenige Minuten später kriegt er einen Anruf, daß er in Vancouver spielen darf.
Also mit dieser Leistung ist Florida bei mir unten durch. :kotz:
Das schlimme: Ausgerechnet in Vancouver spielt er nun. :idiot:
CBS schrieb:Trade to Vancouver catches goalie Luongo by surprise
June 24, 2006
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Roberto Luongo thought he had worked out a long-term contract with the Florida Panthers early Friday afternoon.
A few hours later, the 27-year-old goaltender got a call informing him that he had been dealt to Vancouver in a five-player trade that sent forward Todd Bertuzzi back to Florida.
"I'm really sad because I didn't think this was going to happen, Luongo said Saturday. "We made great strides yesterday. I thought we were going to get something long term. I was surprised this whole deal went down."
Defenseman Bryan Allen and goaltender Alex Auld are also headed to Florida in the deal, which also sent defenseman Lukas Krajicek and a sixth-round pick in Saturday's draft back to the Canucks.
Luongo believed he had reached a four-year deal with Florida that hinged on three conditions: The team make a public statement that it would not trade him; goaltending coach Francois Allaire, whose contract runs out in Anaheim this summer, would be hired; and veteran Jamie McLennan would return as Luongo's backup.
"They did not want to meet my three expectations, which I thought were not that big a deal," Luongo said. "I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of making a run at the Stanley Cup, something I never had a chance to do in my prior seasons in Florida,"
Luongo added that he wanted to stay in his wife's home town in Florida, where they just moved into a new home, but was looking forward to playing in Vancouver.
He said it was too soon, however, to think about signing long term with the Canucks.
After earning $3.2 million last season as part of an arbitration award, he rejected several long term offers from the Panthers -- the last for $24 million over four years -- and could become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
