A Modest Proposal: Why the Canucks should trade Luongo for St. Louis

The Province recently made headlines (literally - get it?) by publishing an editorial suggesting that the Canucks trade much-maligned goalie Roberto Luongo for Tampa Bay Lightning centre Vincent Lecavalier. No one much took this editorial seriously, but I think it was on to something - it just didn't have the details quite right.

Forget trading for Lecavalier. Instead, let's trade for St. Louis.

Let me explain why I think this would be of enormous benefit to the Canucks organization.

Star-divide

I bet you didn't know that St. Louis had 240 goals last year. 240 goals! The entire Canucks team only managed 262. Adding 240 goals to this roster would likely win us the division, and at least a couple of playoff rounds. Especially with Luongo out of here. Furthermore, adding St. Louis would significantly increase the Canucks' depth, giving Coach Vigneault a wider range of players to deploy during games.

Now, there are of course a few hitches with my proposal. For example, Luongo's new team - although adding a world-class goaltender - would of course have their depth significantly hurt by trading St. Louis. Fans, though thrilled by the addition of Luongo, might be somewhat alarmed that they would be forced to watch what is essentially an AHL-level group of skaters the rest of the season.

Furthermore, there is the old EA Sports NHL question - would the NHL approve such a trade? Certainly, there would be issues about competitive balance. But surely, acquiring the goaltender who led Team Canada to Gold in the 2010 Olympics would offset the loss of an entire roster? And let's be realistic - the Canucks wouldn't even get the most out of St. Louis. Sure, David Backes could slot in on the second line and Erik Johnson Alex Pietrangelo would relegate Andrew Alberts to the press-box. But let's be honest here, St. Louis would mostly serve as depth for the already talent-laden Canucks roster. Although, as last night's performance demonstrated, St. Louis may be able to push some Canucks starters for more ice-time.

So sure, there are a few flaws with my proposal, and for these I apologize - as a humble fan and blogger, I obviously lack the general manager acumen possessed by the Province editorial board. But I still think this is a reasonable - if modest - proposal, and one that Mike Gillis should seriously contemplate.

It always struck me that people who wanted to go into the Sciences had way more prerequisites than Arts. I had friends who took Bio, Chem and Physics 12 plus Math and Calculus. My Grade 12 sched was: English Lit, French, Geography, PE, History, and…. I actually can’t remember the 6th course.

But my point being, I didn’t have as many intense classes that I had to take like science-oriented people did.

A lot more freedom to experiment than the Sciences.

Yeah, the semester system seems much better for Provincial Exams. I was lucky in that I got two exams out of the way by the middle of Grade 12, so only had to write three in June. I can’t imagine doing 8 exams all at once – that is crazy! It sucks to have to leave everything for the end of the year (when you just want to BE EFFING DONE high school).

Funnily enough

A Modest Proposal was taken seriously by and caused a great deal of outrage amongst many people at the time. Basically the author suggested that the Irish alleviate hunger and poverty by eating babies – but presented it in a matter-of-fact and logical way that lulled people into thinking he was serious.

Obviously I was not keeping much of a straight face throughout this post… but I was trying to write it so that it at least appeared to be a legit trade proposal for part of the way through. Apparently it fooled a few folks, temporarily at least.
