Luongo no go?

Robert Luongo, the crazy-good goaltender that the LA Kings are pursuing, isn’t happy about all the rumors. From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, “Panthers’ Luongo ‘upset, hurt’ about talk of a trade”

Roberto Luongo said Wednesday he wants to keep playing for the Panthers, but is “upset, hurt and concerned” after General Manager Mike Keenan’s recent disclosure that the team will explore trading the franchise goalie by this weekend’s draft.

“Especially after I came out and said I’d like to stay here and I didn’t want to go,” Luongo said in a phone interview. “Now they’re turning the tables on me. It’s very upsetting.”

The Kings aren’t the only ones after him:

The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that the Kings have offered goalie Mathieu Garon for Luongo as they did in March, along with wingers Alexander Frolov and Dustin Brown. The Red Wings, Senators, Maple Leafs, Canucks and Rangers also are believed to be pursuing Luongo with offers through Saturday night’s draft in Vancouver.

It would be quite a coup to get Luongo, although I keep hearing the stupid Longo Toyota radio jingle everytime I type his name. ;)
