NuxFan09 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I've had enough of you people suggesting that Lack is a quality backup. He's not, he's come over from Sweden. They play a completely different game. Give him another year and maybe he'll be a good backup here. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Assuming the Canucks do trade Luongo, there might be a chance that in the cap hit return their could be a goalie. For example, if Luongo were to go to TB then Garon might come back this way. He isn't too bad having 1 year left on a contract/cap hit of $1,3 million. regards, G.

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 You guys worry about NHL experience and rightly so, if Lack and Schneider were to be our Goalies next year they would have a combined 68 games (all Schneider). I would however like to note that Gillis has repeatedly said, and demonstrated that two way contracts can beat out one way deals. What I am suggesting is we do sign an experienced 1 way back up. This back up however would be beat out by Lack in the preseason. While Lack does not have NHL experience he does have NHL talent. I have never seen a goaltender of his size, 6'5'' be able to make the second, third save and still fight down low. Luongo by contrast makes the first save then proceeds to flop on his stomach, as if to snow angel. Lack did make another brain fart tonight though, and took a penalty for playing the puck outside the trapezoid. I still contend that Lack is one of if not the best goalie in the AHL right now, he deserves a shot if only 20 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigsaw99 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Good. This will give Cantana playing time. Cantana can very much be our next Scheinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Agreed, Cannata is a great prospect. In the one start he had with the Wolves he stopped 38 out of 40 shots for the win, not bad for a pro debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Lack is going to be very very good, but like Schneider, an extra year playing many games in the AHL is better for his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Luongo's length of contract makes it difficult to move him. Gillis has to find a market to take the term-ten more year's worth and Luo at 43 years old. $6.7 million per year and $5.3 million cap hit. Eddie is a promising goaltender but we saw the long years it took Schneids to become an NHL goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 If we do go with Schneider, then I think it would be a poor idea to have a rookie backup as well. When Schneider has some off games, and we need to settle things down.. we need a veteran career backup type around. Auld; Sanford; Raycroft; etc... lots out there to be had for close to minimum wage.

thehamburglar Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Schnieder - Lack combination doesn't sound good to me. Lack needs Luongo to settle him into NHL as he did with Schnieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
