Both sides agreed to the contract - trying to blame one side or the other for it is silly.
Having said that, situations change. People and organizations need to be cognizant of that and react accordingly.
IMO, Luongo has been nothing but professional over the past two years while this has played out.
Conversely, Gillis and the Canucks organization have strung him along, attempted to make him the bad guy, been greedy and short-sighted, and generally have fata'ed the whole situation.
The contract is what it is, but the current situation is 100% the fault of the organization. I hope he sticks it to them.
