The contract is the reason there hasn't been a trade yet.

No doubt that the contract is the reason there hasn't been a trade, but the "contract sucks" talk is disengenous. He is being paid a boatload of money in a format that was in contravention of the spirit of salary cap, if not the letter. Luongo, his agent and the GM are the authors of their own situation. I don't hate Luongo, but given the NTC, the salary, term and cap issues, it really isn't difficult to understand why he may be "stuck" on the Canucks. Boo-hoo.
