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.

I get what you are saying now, and i fully agree.

What i was trying to point out earlier was that some posters thought Luongo had negative value before the season started. I do not believe that to be true. What they had was an inept GM who was greedy. Luo could have been traded for a 2nd and Bozak (according to Vancouver media), that return would not have been negative value. Vancouver could have really used Bozak this year and not had to trade a 2nd and D prospect for useless Roy.

While mentioning Roy, a word for Feaster: Do not go after him.
