Teams will be afraid of the cap recapture aspect because Luongo will retire when he is 40.
If they acquire Luongo right now that is likely a $1.5 million dollar cap recapture for them and a $2.6 for the Canucks.
If Luongo doesn't get traded by the Canucks and stays with it is a $4.1 million cap penalty.
Smartest move long term for the Canucks is to hope for a buyout.
