AndyS Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 You KNOW that Luongo wants out of Vancouver.You KNOW that Nash wants out of Columbus.You KNOW that most of us would like to rid ourselves of the Universal Philosopher in Net (Bryz).Why not try to swing a deal where we get Luongo, Vancouver gets Nash, and Columbus takes Bryz, Read, and a pick (maybe a pick from Van too)? Something like that. Just a thought. That deals actually frees up cap space for Columbus.Bryz might actually find himself in a place where there are lower expectations. (I suspect he would not mind a change of scenery.)What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I don't think Bryz's problem is expectations.I think the problem was the media and, especially, 24/7 exposure on HBO.I'd like to see how he does without all that.And I think there is no way in hell that Columbus takes Bryz as compensation for Nash even with Read (who is worth notverymuch) and a pick.And if you've been disappointed in Bryzgalov, I can't even IMAGINE what you would think about Luongo...

radoran Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Luongo has a pretty good track record.Which is why Vancouver is greasing a rail out of town?Well, let's see....11-12Bryz 33-16-7, 2.48, .909Luongo 31-14-8, 2.41, .91610-11Bryz 36-20-10, 2.48, .921Luongo 38-15-7, 2.11, .92809-10Bryz 42-20-6, 2.29, .920Luongo 40-22-4, 2.57, .913CareerBryz 189-132-42 (.578), 2.52, .915Luongo 339-283-33-40 (.540) , 2.52, .919If Luongo has a "pretty good track record" what does Bryz have?

AndyS Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If Luongo has a "pretty good track record" what does Bryz have?A pretty good playoff track record, including helping his team get to a game #7 in the Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doom88 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Luongo has a pretty good track record.And a worse contract. Unless he loses the NTC in the trade, which makes it kind of nice. Van already paid a nice chunk of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 A pretty good playoff track record, including helping his team get to a game #7 in the Finals.So he's been involved in one fewer Cup-winning teams than Bryzgalov? (3-1, 2.25, .922 in the Ducks' Cup-winning run)Noted. ;-)Luongo never took the Panthers to the playoffs. Never. Bryzgalov took the Phoenix Coyotes to the playoffs twice.Career playoffLuongo is 32-27, 2.50, .917Bryz 17-19, 2.81, .908What exactly has Luongo "proven" in the playoffs? In his big run to Game 7 he was 2.56, .914 - pretty much in line with his career as a playoff failure in Vancouver.Luongo's entire playoff track record is for a team expected to compete for, if not win the Stanley Cup. Bryzgalov had a solid playoff record for contenders with the Ducks and took the moribund Coyotes franchise to the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons.
