Who says he hasn't expanded his list? Not many teams are in need of 34 year old goalie with a big cap hit and a lot of years. The market is very small. It is easy for us to throw the term buyouts out there but most teams do not want to bring in someone to have to turn around and buyout one of their own guys. We are talking real money now and teams do not like that. Teams want young and cheap right now not old and expensive.
Luongo said it, the contract sucks, no one wants it.
The issue is money and cap hit. Toronto (or anyone) wants Vancouver to eat some of it. Of course Vancouver doesn't want to, who would. Remember you cannot bury cap hits in the minors anymore, NHL contracts in the AHL count against the cap. Some teams are in tough next year.
