Up until the deadline Loungo did not have negative value. What the Luongo situation had was an inept GM, that thought he could get a top 6 player and prospect for him. If he lowered his price Lou would have been traded.

Going forward i don't think they will get much or anything. Negative value to me would be Buy Out. I don't think they have to go that route. Maybe a 6-7th rd pick or waivers.
What I'm saying is:

Pros:

- Luongo is a pretty good goalie, but probably not for much longer
- Reasonable cap hit

Cons:

- 9 more years (34 - 43)
- $40,570,000

He'll likely be good for less than half of his remaining contract. At this point they should be happy if he just walks away and they get nothing except cap relief and dont have to actually fork out the cash to him.
