MJDDawg Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just heard on Team 1040 that Gillis has confirmed Eddie is gone for the year. Apparently surgery was successful so hope Eddie makes a full recovery and we see him 100% healthy next year at training camp. Don't think this affects anything on the Lui trade front, for this year anyway. Any thoughts? Edit: Also confirmed by @BradZiemer.

Amish Rake Fighter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah....that sucks. Might explain some of the wobbly performances, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3ff Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Damn.. didn't realize his injury was that serious Hopefully he recovers better than ever, he's missing a year of valuable playing experience! Seemed to have a good attitude in his blogs. Positivity goes a long way during recovery. Good Luck Eddie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh nvm, for some reason I was reading 'Alex Edler' and not Eddie Lack. That's unfortunate for Lack. Hope he recovers okay for next year. On the flip side, this gives Cannata a chance to shine for the Wolves, especially with Climie injured as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He's been on the shelf too long. It was starting to sound as though something more serious was up. I don't think he was part of our plans this season anyways so it probably doesn't change much in terms of the Luongo situation, but it delays his development quite a bit which is unfortunate. Happy healing Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ben Kuzma @benkuzma Lack's contract is a one-way next season because #Canucks expected him to be NHL ready. Hip surgery changes landscape once Luongo dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Isn't hip surgery one of the worst surgery for hockey players? Cloutier was never the same, Morrison took a couple of years to fully recover, even Kesler seemed like he lost a step. Hopefully since Lack is still young, he can fully recover.... but I'm kinda expecting a down year for him upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This explains why gillis was showing more signs of holding onto luongo than before. With Lack injured, lui is going nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey Fever Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Makes sense why they haven't traded Louie yet. They definitely need a backup Goalie in the return package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
