Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo told TSN he had discussions with the NHLPA this offseason about voiding his contract with the team.

"I explored every possibility, and that was definitely one of them," Luongo told James Duthie in an interview that was shown on "SportsCentre" on Friday night. "And at that point there's different logistics into something like that and it's very complicated, but definitely it was something that I was looking at and ready to do if the opportunity came up."

"I was ready to walk away from it and sign somewhere else for lesser term and less money," Luongo said.
