Roberto Luongo, the Vancouver Canucks' former beleaguered goaltender, ousted from his starter role by both Corey Schneider (now gone to the New Jersey Devils) and by Eddie Lack, the future of goaltending for the Canucks, has been traded back to the team that he came from eight years ago.
Vancouver gets back touted prospects (who have had a rough stretch of it with the Florida Panthers) forward Shawn Matthias and goaltender Jacob Markstrom (a Swede who can discuss the merits of the Swedish chef with his now bosom buddy, Eddie Lack). The only other trades that happened were Jeff Costello from the Senators for Patrick Mullen. And six-game Canuck Raphael Diaz (obtained from the Montreal Canadians) was sent packing to the New York Rangers for a fifth round draft pick.
Better yet, now that we have Jeff Costello, any chance we can talk with the Toronto Maple Leafs and do a trade for Spencer Abbott? That'll just make everybody's day.
