He also obviously doesn't want to spend the rest of his career in Vancouver, and would much prefer a Florida or maybe a Tampa Bay.
So really is keeping Luongo even an option for them anymore, unless they somehow convince him that things might turn around for the team, and him personally.

No kidding, didn't really see Luongo with a devastated look on his face last night during the handshakes. He was almost having a good time, you could almost see a smile on his face when he met up with Boyle and Thornton. He's been unfairly blamed and made the scapegoat for 2010 and 2011, and this year had to endure a ridiculous situation. I'd be shocked if he didn't amp up his "trade me talk in the summer". He really needs to put the pressure on Gillis to trade him, he should be done being accommodating. It was the Canucks and their fans that wanted him gone, so make it happen.
