Bottom line is that Luongo's deal really doesn't make sense post lockout so I just can't fathom a GM taking a flyer on the deal which is a bigger risk than losing out on Luongo.

Even in a shortened season i think Burke's job is on the line. I say he goes to Toronto. THe Canucks will get a salary back on a crap 3rd to 4th liner.
Also the cap hit is not that bad. The length of the contract is horrible.
