As discussed on a segment on TSN Insider Trading, the Florida Panthers remain the clear frontrunner for acquiring Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo.
Canucks GM Mike Gillis have been holding ongoing discussions with the Panthers, who have refused to part with some assets to acquire the 33-year-old.
However, negotiations are still taking place to move the veteran netminder to Florida, where Luongo has mentioned as his top preferred destination if he chooses to waive his no-trade clause.
The Toronto Maples had expressed initial interest in Luongo, but have not engaged in discussions with Gillis so far.
In 55 games with the Canucks last season, Luongo posted a .919 save percentage and 2.41 goals-against average.
