One night before the 2006 NHL entry draft, Vancouver and Florida pulled off the biggest move in the NHL so far this offseason, swapping Todd Bertuzzi and Roberto Luongo, as well as a handful of other players and a pick. Rumours about Luongo leaving Florida have been flying around everywehere so far this offseason, placing him in Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, and, as HL.com reported on June 21, Vancouver.
The entire deal consists of Florida sending Roberto Luongo, Lukas Krajicek, and a 2006 6th Round Draft Pick to Vancouver in exchange for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan Allen, and Alex Auld.
This deal solves Vancouver's goalie problems and provides a compliment to the Panthers' offense, with Todd Bertuzzi complimenting Olli Jokinen at centre.
