Roberto Luongo stays with Canucks

The NHL's trade deadline passed, and Roberto Luongo remains with the Vancouver Canucks, the victim of his own long-term contract that extends through 2022.

Luongo showed his frustration with his contract and his current status as a backup goaltender Wednesday during a news conference with the Vancouver media.

Luongo acknowledged that the remaining nine years on his contract made a trade especially challenging. His average salary cap hit is $5.33 million per season.

"I do feel obligated to trade Roberto and get him into a position where he's happy," Gillis said. "The needs of our team also play a role in this. Trying to balance them is a difficult thing. We've been doing that for six months."

According to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun, the Maple Leafs had discussions with the Canucks regarding Luongo, but the two sides couldn't find a match. Luongo can reject any deal but claimed that it never came to that, even though he was pulled from practice early Wednesday.

"There was obviously some teams that were interested," Luongo said. "Nothing ever materialized to a point where I had to give a decision whether I was going to waive or not. What the future holds is something you try not to think about."

New leak suggests next-gen Xbox won’t play used games

ollowing a number of reports claiming Microsoft’s (MSFT) next-generation video game console, codenamed “Durango,” will block users’ ability to play preowned games, a new report appears to back up those claims. In a series of purported screenshots from Microsoft’s Durango SDK published by Vgleaks.com, several earlier rumors regarding Microsoft’s next console appear to have been confirmed. Among them is the claim that game play from a disk will not be supported, and users will instead have to install games to the device’s hard drive in order to play.

Previous rumors suggested Microsoft plans to require that users install games on their hard drives and enter a unique activation code in order to play. The console will then require an always-on Internet connection and will ping a server to verify the activation code.

It should be noted that early rumors suggested a similar authentication system would block used games on Sony’s PlayStation 4, however the rumors were debunked when the device was unveiled last month.

The leaked Durango SDK screenshots also mention a “new high-fidelity Kinect Sensor” that will be sold with every console, and that must be connected in order for the system to operate.
