A Mega Hockey Trade

Panthers trade Luongo to Canucks for Bertuzzi - NHL - Yahoo! Sports Now this is a big trade. I think everyone knew Bertuzzi would be dealt (he needed a change of scenery), but getting goalie Luongo is huge for the Canucks. It's been years since they've gone into a season without doubts in net. Dan Cloutier just couldn't get them over the hump, but now they have an all-star, legitimate number 1 goalie. This reminds me of the Detroit Red Wings before they won all those Cups in the 90's. They had a good team, but didn't have a goalie to put them over the top. The GM finally pulled the trigger on a trade, and got Mike Vernon from Calgary. It cost him a pretty good defenceman to do it. However, the got Vernon, and they won the Cup. Who knows if that'll work for Vancouver, but the chances are better now...
