Quite a day with Luongo on move to FLA. Convinced this more related to fallout from non-start in Heritage than reason for the non-start.

Seems silly to me... also, Bob said specifically he didn't believe there was any trade in the works for Luongo as of Sunday, so he may be trying to save face for calling that one wrong. Anyway, doesn't really matter what the motivations are.

This would be $795k against the cap. Pretty insignificant with the cap going up even just for next year, and less so going forward.
Whether the deal is good or bad really depends on your context. Schneider and Luongo for Horvat, Markstrom and Matthias is terrible as of the beginning of last season. Not keeping Schneider was an absurd mistake (depending who Horvat becomes of course).
But as of today? Surprisingly good looking trade made by Gillis. I'm surprised he got anything of value at all, much less a good (if no longer blue chip) prospect and an NHL quality player.
