Pittsburgh is planning to trade for Lalongo because they have no faith in their cup winning goalie with only a couple years left on his contract?? What a joke!

Philly is interested if they can find a taker for Bryzgalov?? Hahaha

Montreal is considering? :P

Gillis says he has a deal in place?? Are you kidding me??

If u have a deal in place, you are announcing a trade; pending physical or a player waiving a NTC. And it's a media source reporting it, not a GM. If anything, this hurts the proceedings.

Truth is, this was the worst case scenario in Vancouver. People are now slowly starting to debate Schneider or Lalongo!

Does anybody think any GM is going to believe they need to increase their offer for Him? Lalongo is a known commodity. Even if he posts 3 straight shutouts, the offers stay the same, but the pressure increases in Vancouver.
I honestly think Gilles missed his chance before the lockout, because now he will end up either eating a percentage of that fat contract or taking a fat one back.
