Daniel Wagner (blogger for the Score and shameless Canucks supporter) thinks it's actually the other way around and has been mistakenly reported:

Dreger is basically the source for everyone else and his source is Nonis, who has plenty of reasons to spread misinformation in hopes of driving Luongo’s asking price down. Nonis can safely deny it, of course, since he’s not the one saying it. It makes it pointless for Gillis to deny it.
I suspect it’s a half-truth. It makes no sense whatsoever for Gillis to go after draft picks and a replacement goaltender at the trade deadline. If they’re not going to trade Luongo for a roster player that helps the Canucks immediately, then there’s no reason to make a trade during the season and should wait until the draft, where they’ll likely have more interest. My guess is that Scrivens and two 2nd rounders is what Toronto offered, rather than what the Canucks offered. That’s the only way any of this makes sense to me.
