According to reports from the Vancouver Sun and French Station TVA, Canucks Head Coach Alain Vigneault has confirmed that Luongo indeed wants out of Vancouver.
Vigneault was asked on French Station TVA if he agreed that Luongo needed a fresh start. “First of all, that is what he wants right now,” Vigneault said in the translated quote. “What we need to do is what's best for our organization and our team. We have to look at what's best for our organization and Roberto.”
Luongo was supplanted in goal during the playoffs by Cory Schneider and has indicated in the past that he would waive his no-trade clause to move from Vancouver and that he also does not want to be a backup.
Canucks GM Mike Gillis has contended over the past two weeks or so that talks are ongoing with Luongo but that is all he will comment on.
