    Does potential lockout mean no Luongo trade?

    In my opinion, this will take a while.

    Very well could. Less teams are going to be interested in taking on that contract without knowing what the future is. I know a lot of teams are looking to get things settled before re-signing a certain player, or aquiring a player.

    In short, yes.

    I tend to agree. This landscape is too uncertain, bad timing for the Canucks.

    The entire league is in stall mode now that the lockout looks all but certain. The teams that went all in on free agents have done their shopping, and the teams that had complex deals like the Luongo trade to pull off will have to wait.

    We're waiting till the Winter Classic for hockey IMO.

    Starting hockey at the Winter Classic is just asking for trouble IMO.

    I agree. But as long as Bettman is running things I don't see any other options.
