Roberto Luongo's declining health could lead to the end of his NHL career.
Luongo, of course, is still under contract for three years and owed just under $16 million from the monstrous 12-year, $64-million deal he signed with the Canucks in 2009.As mentioned by Kypreos, the idea that Luongo could spend the rest of his days on the LTIR would be good for Florida and Vancouver. And in the Panthers’ case, doing so would add clarity to a potential move Kypreos believes they are looking to make in the off-season.
“What coincides, I think, with the Luongo news is Sergei Bobrovsky,” said Kypreos. “There’s talk that they may take a real healthy run at him, and certainly they’re gonna need him if Luongo does shut it down.” Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
