Roberto Luongo was traded back to the Florida Panthers after eight seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, along with Steven Anthony. The Canucks acquired Jacob Markstrom, a promising goalie, and Shawn Matthias to provide forward depth.

Markstrom stepped up as the Canucks' starting goaltender after Luongo's departure and had a successful tenure. Matthias had a career year with the Canucks, but struggled with other teams post-trade.

The Luongo trade benefitted Vancouver in the long run, as Markstrom proved to be a valuable asset and helped the team reach the playoffs. Luongo's legacy remains strong within the Canucks organization.
