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."
