Who gets traded Lack or Markstrom

With the Canucks currently having 3 NHL caliber goalies on 1 way contracts on their team, do you think Lack could be the 1 traded?

Don't get me wrong I love Lack on our team, I think he is a great goalie, person and teammate, but he has definitely greater trade value than Markstrom currently does.

Plus Rollie Melanson must value the work he has spent working with Markstrom and is liking the results that he is seeing as they seem to be determined to keep all 3 currently on the team.

Any thoughts?

I know I don't like the thought but I can see it happening.

Lack is ready or extremely close to being ready for prime time, and shouldn't have to wait until Miller's contract is up.

Markstrom has talent just needs some refining and Rollie seems to like what he sees.... so keeping Lack may not be such a priority.

Plus in 3 years we could have Thatcher Demko making a hard push to be on our team.

I can't see a way that Lack is not traded. Rollie Melanson is keen on Markstrom and they have done a bunch a work. There is no chance (IMO) that if waived he makes it to the AHL. We will need to the roster spot open to keep scratched forwards around. I don't think there is any point in carrying 3 goalies during a rebuild and I will be questioning WTF Benning is doing if he does. Lack has the value, so Lack is the trade.

I personally think neither. They can be sent down to the minors without being claimed 1 week prior to the start of the season as can any player. But if one is to go, I'd say Markstrom though I wouldn't want him to leave.

Wrong. They are all waiver eligible. There is no magical can loophole to bury NHL vets.

If Lack can get us someone on the back end who can help with the powerplay, I will drive him to the airport and listen to his wise cracks on the way!

whats with all this trade/waive Sestito nonsense? Be a big mistake to let him go.

As for who gets traded, one of them will, 100% and unfortunately I think it will be Eddie. I cant see us getting much in return for Markstrom.

What do you guys think Eddie is worth?
