News: Canucks general manager Mike Gillis reiterated Friday that Luongo has not asked for a trade, the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said Luongo had asked for a trade during an interview Thursday night, but Gillis was quick to deny those claims. Gillis did admit that Luongo is open to a trade and the team would try to move him this summer, so it's all semantics at this point. Expect Luongo to be wearing a new sweater come the fall.

News: Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault has confirmed Luongo has asked to be traded, reports the Toronto Sun. [+]
Impact: "This is what he wants now," Vigneault told TVA Sports's The Match on Wednesday. "And what we must do is (make the best decision) for our organization ... We will act in the best interest of our organization while trying to do what is best for Roberto." The coach did hint that Cory Schneider would be getting more playing time this year. A trade will be difficult, with the Orcas likely netting little in return for the star netminder simply because of the size of his contract. He remains one of the best goalies in the league (that is, when you leave his Octobers out of the mix), so he should remain a great fantasy option no matter where he lands. ( RotoWire - Fri.

News: Canucks coach Alain Vigneault, who just signed a two-year extension with the team, said Schneider's promotion from backup to No. 1 goaltender will "probably be permanent," the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: Schneider started the final three games of the Canucks' first-round loss to the Kings. Vancouver is expected to trade Roberto Luongo this offseason, but it sounds like Schneider could be the No. 1 netminder even if Bobby Lu sticks around. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 24, 2012) | |
