Finally, it appears that Roberto Luongo is getting his wish: a return to South Florida. Gary Payton Jersey . Numbers Game looks into the deal sending Luongo back to Florida, leaving the Canucks with a decidedly different goaltending picture than they had one year ago. The Panthers Get: G Roberto Luongo and LW Steven Anthony. Luongo, 34, has been a strong starting goaltender for a long time. Even this season, as he has been dealing with a challenge for playing time from Eddie Lack, Luongo has a .917 save percentage, which ranks 16th out of 37 goaltenders to play in at least 25 games this season. Over the past four seasons, Luongos even-strength save percentage (.929) ranks sixth among goaltenders with at least 5000 minutes played. Now, that Luongo has been effective to this point is no great secret, but the question is how long he will remain an effective starter. Hes under contract, at a cap hit of $5.333M per season, through 2021-2022 and its pretty easy to forecast that Luongo wont be playing at such a high level at that point. Can he be an above-average starter through 37 or 38-years-old? That would probably be the best-case scenario. Aside from Luongos level of play, there is some value to his contract for the Panthers. Even with the Canucks picking up a portion of the contract, Florida is a team that, to this point, has faced more challenges getting to the floor than staying under the cap. If that means that five years from now their backup goaltender costs more than $5-million, then it may not be a huge issue. Where the finances get especially tricky is if Luongo retires before the end of his contract, because it is a prime candidate for the recapturing device implemented in the latest collective bargaining agreement and, according to Cap Geek, the Canucks could face a hefty cap hit if Luongo doesnt play out his entire deal. So, taking a step past the financial ramifications and getting back on the ice, the Panthers have upgraded their goaltending and for a team with improving possession numbers, an above average goaltender could be enough to put them back in the playoff hunt as soon as next season. Anthony is a 22-year-old winger who has been buried in the low minors, scoring 45 points in 108 games between the ECHL and CHL over the past three seasons. He played junior with Jonathan Huberdeau, but Anthony is too far away from the NHL to think thats going to be a factor that will increase his stature in the organization. The Canucks Get: G Jacob Markstrom and C Shawn Matthias. Markstrom is a 24-year-old who has long been considered a top prospect since he was the 31st overall pick in 2008, but there have been some bumps in the road that have put his future into question. In 43 career games, Markstrom has an .898 save percentage. Since 2005-2006, that ranks 88th out of 105 goaltenders with at least 40 games played, numbers brought down by an abysmal start (.874 SV% in 12 GP) to this season. Since he was returned to the AHL, Markstrom has posted a .918 save percentage in 29 games and has a .917 save percentage in 131 career AHL games, which is decent enough to get another look in the NHL, particularly with a new team that has an opening on the NHL roster. Markstrom currently has to be considered behind Eddie Lack on the depth chart. 26-year-old Lack, who has a .924 save percentage in 25 games this season, isnt nearly established enough in the starters role that the job wont be up for a more open competition in the future. Markstrom has the pedigree and was the starter for Brynas IF Gavle in the Swedish Elite League in 2009-2010, when Lack was his backup. Matthias, 26, is a 6-foot-4 centre who teases every so often (like scoring five points in the past two games, or tying for second on the Panthers with 14 goals last season) with occasional offensive ability, but he hasnt been terribly productive, scoring 97 points in 312 career games. His puck possession stats have been subpar even while facing lesser opposition. With the Canucks apparently heading toward rebuilding, there should be some opportunity for Matthias to play regular minutes and establish whether or not hes a legitimate top-nine forward. To this point in his career, the answer to that very much depends on the day. Matthias is under contract through next season with a cap hit of $1.75-million. In the end, the Canucks have precious little to show for what was once one of the games top goaltending tandems. A year ago, they had Cory Schneider and Luongo, now both are gone and the Canucks have Matthias and a couple of prospects (Markstrom and ninth overall pick Bo Horvat) in return. If the Canucks take a hit on the salary cap because of recapture five or six years down the road, well, thats just a bitter aftertaste to a situation that hasnt been very pleasant for the past couple seasons anyway.

We asked our panel of experts what to expect... Live Grand Slam of Darts November 12, 2016, 1:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Do you see any potential shock results?Dave Clark: It will be interesting to see how Gary Anderson gets on in this tournament as he is going to be wearing his glasses and using new, shorter darts. You can watch all the action from the Grand Slam of Darts, live on Sky Sports between November 12-20. He plays Glen Durrant and that is a potential shock. In these shorter formats, where it is the best-of-nine legs, anything could happen. Anderson could come under a bit of pressure. Michael Van Gerwen could easily lose to Martin Adams over nine legs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s unlikely – but it’s more likely than over a best-of-19 match. We know that you don’t take Martin lightly. Wayne Mardle Martin Wolfie Adams: We all have our bad days. Youve seen that with the Grand Prix. Someone you might expect to win, this time round hes lost. A bad day at the office, so you shrug your shoulders, put it behind you, and move on.Rod Studd: The world champion Gary Anderson might not have it easy. Hes got the great Alan Chuck Norris whos a great scorer, and finishes well. Hes also got Durrant. Thats a tough group for Gary - hes still experimenting with his glasses so might not be at his best. We take a look back at the history of the Grand Slam of Darts... Whos your ddark horse?Wayne Mardle: Danny Noppert can be absolutely mind-blowing on his day, hes brilliant. D.J. Augustin Jersey. Earlier in the season he was winning ranking titles like he was eating his dinner out of the microwave, it was so simple for him. Im looking forward to seeing him. Mensur Suljovic is the seventh seed and he has been playing brilliantly on the circuit, he’s a potential champion here. Dave Clark Rod Studd: Durrant is the ace in the pack for the BDO, hes a very good player. He would start as the favourite in the BDO world championship. Im sure hes looking forward to playing in this competition because, as Scott Waites showed, its a real chance to showcase your ability. You can really raise your profile if you knock off the big boys of the PDC - its a feather in the cap. Hell relish playing Anderson.Million dollar question: who will win the Grand Slam of Darts?Rod Studd: Michael van Gerwen is odds-on, hes winning more than half the tournaments that hes in. Hes winning almost every week. If you ask everybody whos ever seen a dart thrown whos going win the Grand Slam? they will all say Van Gerwen. Michael van Gerwen beat Gary Anderson 5-2 to win the World Grand Prix title for a third time. Im trying to look beyond the obvious, in the other half of the draw - James Wade does well in the long format, and should have won this when he capsized against Waites. Adrian Lewis might not be far off - if he can click for eight or nine days, he can be a threat. Van Gerwen is the most likely, though. I fancy Dave Chisnall. I’d be surprised if he didn’t come through the group, and I’d be surprised if he didn’t beat the winner or runner-up from Group H. That puts him in the quarter-finals – Anderson, who he might play, is in transition. Chizzy is away from Van Gerwen and Phil Taylor, who are in the other half of the draw. He is my fancy. Wayne Mardle Martin Wolfie Adams: It will be nice if one of us did win it. I was with Waites last week and hes up for winning it again, thats for sure. He always seems to do well in Wolverhampton and is looking forward to going back to the venue and hopefully repeating his success.Dave Clark: He is unstoppable at the moment, Van Gerwen. No 1 seed, 24 titles this year alone, it would take a massive force to stop him. He is in great form at the moment and I think he is going to win it.Watch the Grand Slam of Darts live on Sky Sports between November 12-20. Also See: Is there a BDO-PDC rivalry?
