Kings working on "blockbuster" for Luongo

Quote:

TFP and the Los Angeles Times reported this past week that the Kings were pursuing Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo.

Now, according to the Times, the Kings are pressing hard to work out a "blockbuster" deal, a league source said.

The Times claims the Kings are offering goalie Mathieu Garon and the Panthers' choice of prospects currently playing in the American Hockey League.

If a deal is worked out, the Kings, who are currently $4 million under the cap, would almost immediately work on a long-term contract with Luongo.

Luongo, who turns 27 next month, is set to become a restricted free agent this summer.

Meanwhile, the Kings are also trying to acquire defenseman Brendan Witt from the Washington Capitals.

Many habs fans were hoping to get Luongo during the offseason...this dream seems much less realizable right now...

There's about 10 teams in the league that need a goalie like Luongo, including my Oilers.. I'm not exactly set on Roloson yet, but I'm glad we didnt gut the team in order to get a #1

I am actually pretty happy with the habs having Huet, he is performing really solid and personally I think we should spend some more effort on offence.

Loungo isn't going anywhere I don't think. I think he is happy in So Fla. I think he is very happy with the way the time has been playing. I think he is here to stay. Atleast that is what I have heard. Although he did say he would talk albout it until after the season was over.
