I imagine it's something very close to ver-HAY-ge.

I know, or at least once met, a Verhaeghe, and I thing it was closer to "ver-HAAG", but she was Dutch so I'm not sure if it's pronounced differently in North America.
EDIT: Just saw some YouTube clips, and the announcers pronounce it "ver-HAY-ge".

I missed it but it must have been quite the moment. Classy of Lou too.

That was very classy of Lou to pull that off. I did watch it and it made me smile. Some props go to Dean Lombardi as well for trading the pick to Jersey. As much as I'm sure Marty wanted to be up in the stands with his son, it had to be a special moment for him to announce the selection and hand his son the jersey.
Mike Gillis should have been fired a while ago. I don't mind him trading Schneider. I felt that should have been considered some time ago under the circumstances - it could have helped their playoff run. But I will never believe that a #9 1st round pick in return was the best he could do for the Canucks franchise. Struck me as a panic move.

Luongo says goodbye again; hopes he's not saying hello next fall
Luongo made his comments about an hour before Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis addressed the media. It sounds like Gillis plans to grant Luongo his wish. Asked about the likelihood of Luongo being here next season, Gillis said simply: "I think it is unlikely."
Under the awkward circumstances, I think Luongo has handled this pretty well. He did put his Vancouver condo up for sale in May.
Unbelievably, Gillis couldn't flip one of the better young goalies in the league into an asset that could help his aging contender now.

At the draft, either McGuire or someone else on the broadcast team said the Oilers offer was a lot better.
I can't help but think that had he been dealt at the deadline that the return would've been a lot better. It's not as if he's a prospect. He's a guy who's played quite well in his 100 or so games, and had 3 good seasons in a row with a good SV% and Win%.
That's only worth the 9th overall pick?
The thing that I find totally amazing is that Gillis only managed a return of Kassian and a 9th overall for Schneider and Hodgson. Terrible asset management IMO. Now Edler could be on the move? Gillis might as well just hold onto him so he doesn't get fleeced again.

Players taken at that point of the 2nd round have roughly 1 in 10 odds of becoming a full-time NHLer. I'll take the quality established guy every time at those odds.
