Connolly, Rynnas and Holzer for Luongo?

Vancouver Canucks - Toronto Maple Leafs trade possibilities Though I am not a fan of Luongo's contract, it is a fact that Toronto is one of the few teams that require goaltending AND have the ability to take on that contract. If Brodeur and Vokoun re-sign with their respective teams and the Leafs are not impressed with Harding and Clemmensen, then Luongo becomes the main name in play.

No way Jose regarding Gardiner, Kessel or Lupul

Now, Vancouver is likely to ask for Gardiner straight up, and Burke would be wise to chuckle at that idea and respond with "How about Franson?"

Then Vancouver will ask for Kesel or Lupul, knowing full well they can't get BB to give up on Phil Kessel, as that would mean having traded two firsts and a second for an aging goalie...

So the Canucks will press hard for Lupul, which should only be considered by the Leafs if the Canucks have a big forward prospect that is close to NHL-ready, however even then it will be best to try and keep Lupul, at least until the trade deadline when we will know whether we are buying or selling.

Connolly could be a good fit in Vancouver, and if the Leafs add in Rynnas, that would pair Luongo and Reimer with the Leafs, and Scrivens and Owuya with the Marlies. That still won't be enough to get the deal done, so let's add one D and call it a deal.

To Toronto: Roberto Luongo

To Vancouver: Connolly, Rynnas and one of Holzer, Lashoff or Komisarek.

Comments, anyone?
