No, but much like Iginla, it sounds like he really only had 1 place he was willing to go. I'm sure that's changed now, but last summer all indications are that he had communicated to the Canucks that he really only wanted to go to Florida:

It wasn’t Roberto Luongo’s contract last summer that undermined the Vancouver Canucks’ attempt to trade him, but his singular focus on going to the Florida Panthers.When the Toronto Maple Leafs, run back then by Brian Burke, were ready to negotiate a trade, Luongo reiterated his desire to play only in South Florida.

Luongo was never approached with a firm offer likely because it never got to that point with the team he wanted to go to.
