Kane?

I hate him so much that I don't even care how talented he is.

Luongo for Kane would be good for both teams.

Luongo for Kane would be good for both teams.

I'd be very happy with that, and I think the combination of a solid coaching staff and Mike Gillis would find a way to tame Kane's issues. If he were to get traded it would be obvious it was because of his off-ice issues and that might open his eyes.

Problem is, the word is that Luongo atm is only willing to waive his NTC to go to Florida.

As the hockey world, Digital Journal included, is waiting with great anticipation to hear the gold-medal winning goalie will be shipped to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Panthers, his former club, may have the inside edge on Bobby Lou's future. The Fourth Period says they do.

"The Florida Panthers are serious about bringing back Roberto Luongo to South Florida, one league source told TFP on Sunday," the magazine wrote in a brief story on June 24. "Speaking on the basis of anonymity, the source indicated that Luongo is now only willing to waive his no-movement clause to Florida, where he spends his off-seasons."

Something holding up the deal, the magazine says, is Vancouver GM Mike Gillis wants a package that includes the Panthers 2010 Entry Draft 19th overall pick, Nick Bjugstad. He's a skilled center from Minnesota and at 6' 4" has size to go with tremendous skating ability. Bjugstad was drafted out of high-school but has excelled in two years at college since.

Roberto Luongo is forcing his way to Florida

Told by very good source #Canucks G Roberto Luongo has - to this point -- declined to waive no-trade clause to go to #Blackhawks or #Leafs.

Only place Luongo is willing to be traded, as of today, is back to the Florida #Panthers.

Luongo using the power of his no-trade to "steer" a trade to #Panthers as much as possible at this point in off-season.
