Luongo is what 34 or 35. He can't afford to sit out a season of hockey.being under contract he can't go play elsewhere. Canucks have one more kick at the cup before major changes imo. As great as it was picking up Horvat, I don't think he can step in this year to help. If he can't help then that one chip Gillis had for immediate help is now gone. If they can't bring anyone in as a ufa (which is likely since they lack cap space) then they will have taken a step back. Should be interesting to see how they fair in the new division.
