What happened to all the talk that Pittsburgh needed to upgrade their goaltending and that Miller wanted out of Buffalo desperately.
For Pittsburgh, makes a lot of sense to move Fleury for Luongo as it would provide them with an elite goaltender and cap hits are similar. Fleury's contract is for 2 more years so really it's only another 7 years of Luongo after that (if he plays) to the end of his deal which is unlikely.
Miller's wife is an actress and he wants to go to the W. Coast but goalie situation in California is all locked up. Maybe his wife can take some gigs in Vancouver while he tends goal. Buffalo's owner isn't adverse to long term deals (see Erhoff, Myers and Leino for examples)
Just a big shat show out here. Be interesting to see how it all ends up.
