Q: what is advantage to Lui in choosing retirement over LTIR? I understand LTIR is better for Florida and Canucks.
If a player goes to LTIR ... doesn't he still get paid in terms of his contract?
If he retires, doesn't he forfeit rest of his contract money?

However, in order to get that money from the insurance company, he has to make a bonafide effort to return to play (adhere to a recovery plan which may involve seeing specialists, having surgeries performed, physical therapy, rehab, etc.)
Retiring means he can just live his life as he wants.

Another inductee to the ring of honour ... or retiring his number?
I'd say give him the ring of honour here. Let Florida retire his number.

The retired numbers is such a mess with the current people up there
I’d say Lu is ahead of Smyl, Bure, AND Naslund..

Sad. Luongo will always have a soft spot in my heart. I always pick him up in NHL franchise mode when I do a fantasy draft.

So despite 100+ years of team history, there were only 2 numbers retired. Everyone else had their number "honoured" but players could still wear those numbers.
On the one hand, I like honouring players by not letting others wear their number. On the other hand, I like seeing that number out on the ice because it reminds me of the past player.

The good ol numbers debate lol I don't know. I wasn't old enough to know what Stan meant for us so I won't comment. Out of the remaining 3 only Linden is a slam dunk for me.

| He seems comparable to JT Miller and all it cost the Canes was a player no one's heard of. This is what trades are suppose to look like for teams that are up against the cap and NEED to move out players.

He might not be Miller, but a poor man's version. Haula did get 55 pts in 17-18 in Vegas and he was traded for a scrub essentially. Nicolas Roy (b.1997) Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com | |

+ he’s older
+ he doesn’t play all 3 forward positions
+ he’s coming off a bad knee injury that apparently required a rare surgery IIRC

+ he's on the last year of his contract
+ he was a -16 on a Vegas team that scored a ton of goals
+ he had one breakout year

Still remember when Niedermayer turned over the puck in their own zone in the 2010 Olympics and he stopped Pavelski's snipe just moments before Sid scored the golden goal. Probably my favorite Luongo moment.
Sucks that we got hit with the recapture penalty but I'm willing to overlook it for all he's done for the team and city when he was here

Keep throwing away draft picks and be stuck between rebuilding and going for it. The canucks better make the playoffs next year or else, with their luck, they're winning the lottery and tampas getting the pick.

^they will be if his knee stops him from recovering to his old form.. bobbinka added some great points as well. It wasn’t a great comparison.
No one is happy we gave up a first. No one.
Haula atcha boy.

It must be great for the other 30 teams to know that there is always one team that will pay the asking price for a player.
A first round for J.T. Miller ??!! TBH, I never even heard of the guy before this. A conditional 1st and a 3rd??!!

I see most of you guys are still looking forward to another 50 years of Canucks hockey..........
Sad to say it, but I guess I am. Remember............. I get to drive the bandwagon.
