Veteran goaltender Roberto Luongo is coming back to play for the Canucks next season, according to an NHL.com report.

At least that’s what GM Mike Gillis believes after meeting with his would-be No.1 goaltender at his Florida home for three and a half hours last week.

"I have full confidence in Roberto and I have full confidence he’ll be here and that’s how we’re operating," Gillis said Tuesday night.
