Luongo Locked up for 12 years

So it looks like Roberto Luongo might eventually join Marion Hossa and Chris Pronger in having their contracts investigated by the NHL. The 30 year old Luongo has just inked a 12 year contract extension worth $64 milllion. The deal won’t kick in until next year, and will go through 2021-22.

The cap hit for the Canucks will only be for $5.33 million. But the interesting question for this deal will be, what are the yearly salaries? Will it be 7 or 8 years at $7+ million, and then a substantial decrease after that. One of those ‘wink-wink-nudge-nudge’ I’d like to retire in 8 years, so we can toss the remaining 4 years of the contract out the window.

Canucks fans must be estactic as one of the best goalies in the league will be locked up long term, and at a cap friendly number.
