Set Him Free in What The Puck?

I have not been short of frustration with the Canucks this season (last season, season before... whatever) , but it's normally with the players and how lackluster they appear to be; this time I couldn't be angrier with the Canucks organization.
I love Lack; he was the player that I watched in our organization and waited to see him rise to the NHL. I was excited, he is really good and calm and confident and he will make a wicked goalie, especially with experience. Nothing will change the fact that I like this guy as our goalie, that's not the issue here.
How dare the Canucks organization jerk Luongo around like this AGAIN. I understand the concept of riding a good goalie while he's hot; and there's no denying that Lack is playing very well, but where is the argument that Luongo ISN'T playing well? Luongo deserves the start in the Heritage Classic, he has MORE than earned it, and by making this move on him to start Lack, the Canucks organization is just creating Goalie Controversy 2.0.
This one is not created by the fans, or the media, this is one that the Canucks are making up themselves, and so far all I can see is that it's pissing everybody involved off. At this point I say trade him and give him the chance to play for an organization that loves him. Let him play for a team that will let him play. Luongo has got to be so sick and tired of hearing all this controversy crap, I know I am.
No matter how well he plays, everybody always seems to be so fixated on his back up. Lack will eventually be played as a starter, and Luongo hates the view from the bench, so I say let him fly free with an organization, and with a city that won't let him down so much. I don't care if we get anything at all in return for him at this point; he deserves so much better.
