Vancouver Canucks’ goaltender Roberto Luongo linked to prospective move to Toronto Maple Leafs-NHL News
There is an increasing amount of possibility that the Vancouver Canucks’ goaltender, Roberto Luongo, lands in Toronto as a result of a trade with the Maple Leafs.
One of the reasons that could motivate the player is that he will have the opportunity to reunite with general manager, Dave Nonis, who was instrumental in his trade to Canucks.
Most importantly, he will join his long-term guru, Francois Allaire, who is a respectable figure for the player.
Allaire, who happens to be the goaltenders’ coach with the Maple Leafs, is credited for training and grooming the netminder.
As a result of the planned move to Toronto, the goalie will have an opportunity to work with him again, a factor, which the player is least likely to ignore while considering Toronto as his next destination.
The player reportedly has given the list of teams, which he would like to be traded to, and some sections of media have projected Toronto as a possible destination.
There is no problem as far as financing is concerned as some of the game commentators see the Maple Leafs handling the financial matter with their full capability and strength.
Any chance the player avoids move to Toronto on some unexpected financial grounds remains to be least probability.
Also, according to some analysts, Toronto suits to his talent and skills because as compared to Canucks, the Maple Leafs offer him a broader horizon to prove his worth in front of net.
The player is expected to attract interests from some other teams as well so it will be a matter of choice for him or success of negotiations of his present employers with prospective managers that would decide his future course.
Moreover, he is not the only elite netminder to be available in the market. Some other goaltenders within his calibre and skills patron are going to be present and winning a right team will require patience from him.
In any case, the Vancouver Canucks are hopeful of reaching a deal with any of his mentioned teams around the league.
