Vancouver coach Alain Vignault has confirmed Luongo has asked to be traded, reports the Toronto Sun.
Recommendation: "This is what he wants now," Vigneault told TVA Sports's The Match on Wednesday. "And what we must do is (make the best decision) for our organization ... We will act in the best interest of our organization while trying to do what is best for Roberto." The coach did hint that Cory Schneider would getting more playing time this year. A trade will be difficult, with the Orcas likely netting little in return for the star netminder simply because of the size of his contract. He remains one of the best goalies in the league (that is, when you leave his Octobers out of the mix), so he should remain a great fantasy option no matter where he lands.
