The NHL has given the NHLPA an ultimatum regarding the contested front-loaded contract of not only the Devils’ Ilya Kovalchuk, but Vanocuver’s Roberto Luongo and Chicago’s Marian Hossa
The prevailing wisdom a round the Vancouver Canucks these days is that Roberto Luongo will give up his captaincy when he meets general manager Mike Gillis
Gillis said the organization wanted Luongo to determine whether the captaincy had become a distraction. He added that the team made lots of changes this summer, and wanted to give the goaltender ample opportunity to digest a revamped roster.

Roberto Luongo is expected to get the call on Thursday night as the Vancouver Canucks host the San Jose Sharks, another team with a struggling Olympic goalie.
Roberto Luongo could go out Sunday, pitch a shutout with a sensational performance and make any concerns about his recent play with the Vancouver Canucks seem both misplaced and dated.
