Fanuck Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I say no thank you .. lets build a winner with young guys and let them grow up together as a team . We have enough leadership already That's working out well for Edm isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireGillis Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm going to puke if we land miller because I've never liked him and always thought he was overrated. Also, I believe in eddie lack! However, if we do land miller, I expect lack to beat out miller which would then lead to miller pouting if he starts getting benched in favour of lack. Just a bad scenario all around which should be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Soldier Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You have no trust in Eddie Lack? Give him a shot at being a starter for god sakes, he deserves it. He's been under Luongo for a bit, he's shown he can start games if it doesn't go well then acquire a cheap backup via trade or sign. I don't know why you think we need to go big and sign Ryan Miller, that's just a waste of cap space. Just sign Marty Brodeur to develop Lack if you don't want to give Lack an opportunity. This is all in a span of 5-6 years, what a waste of time. You wield hyperbole like a shotgun, you should try yoga. It's not a matter of trust in Eddie or the lack of. It's asset management. Certainly not anything that should have you frothing at the mouth at my idea as much as you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We use to have the Miller Light commercials back during the west coast express days didnt we? The silver bullet? was that Miller? :D Nevermind it was Coors lol. Im down for Miller time if we are trading one of Lack or Markstrom in a package for a top d man or top 6 help.

cdubuya Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Ah, so Miller's trolling us here? Or Liut? Or 1130? Or what? Because this makes like, zero sense. Why? Miller played lights out in that tourney. If I saw him on the street I'd have given him some props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You wield hyperbole like a shotgun, you should try yoga. It's not a matter of trust in Eddie or the lack of. It's asset management. Certainly not anything that should have you frothing at the mouth at my idea as much as you are. Asset management by trading a young goaltender that is reaching his prime? LIke Cory Schneider? Let's just keep trading young goaltenders when they start becoming good because that's some good asset management! Are you going to trade Demko when he starts becoming good too?

Neversummer Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Dude is too skinny and lanky ... now with the restriction on goalie pad size ... gives up too much room. He lost me with his playoff performance with St. Louis ... not that we need him to take us far into the playoffs. This would be Benning's first major mistake ... Trevor, talk him out of it or veto him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to spend that much in that position !! Save it for a stud Dman What stud dman would you like that is available??? Overpay on annuall salary to take down term. He is a stop gap that allows Lack to still get used to playing as a full-time guy and how to be a professional while still being competitive, the direction of the front office per what they've said. Personally I would want a 1 year deal but dont think Miller takes it and I stated my offer based on liklihood of this actually happening and the likely price it would take.

This. I like Ward more than Miller. Because cam ward is terrible these days! I don't want any of ward, miller, hiller, niemi, etc. I believe in lack and if they don't trust markstrom, then get a veteran backup not a goalie who wants to be a number 1 still.

Neversummer Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We just need a reliable veteran goalie to play 25-30 games and give Lack a legitimate try at being starter with 45-50 game range with rest. I didn't think Lack was ready to start at the end of last year and going 19 straight or something stupid like that was just idiodical but I do think he has what it takes to grow into starter role in a year or two. Which might be the time to get some of our young players into solid players with a mix of veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but Ward>Miller for me because of the contract. Who knows, Ward is a reclamation project sometimes they work sometimes they don't.
