Vancouver Canucks fans have been waiting to hear from Roberto Luongo ever since he went silent after the NHL trade deadline. Luongo is finally ready to talk about his future with the Canucks, sitting down with TSN’s James Duthie for a two-part interview.
Luongo also reveals that in May he had serious talks with the NHLPA about the possibility of voiding his deal and walking away from 40m.

Luongo also talks about breaking down after not being dealt at deadline and “blacking out” when he learned VAN had traded Schneider.

Luongo: “I had moved on from Vancouver and was ready to start fresh somewhere else…like a divorce…except she wanted me back.”
