I'm pretty sure Luongo wouldn't want to stay even if Gillis said, "you're our guy. We want to trade Cory to stock up on prospects/picks."
Luongo's shown he's not that great of a big game goalie. He's thrown his teammates under the bus on numerous occasions. He's tweeted pictures of his packed bags on trade deadline (including a few "Am I traded yet?" tweets). After trade deadline he said he hates his contract, implying it's his contract that is keeping him in Vancouver and he really wants to go.
