Hookman Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If it wasn't for his personality people wouldn't have such a hard on for him. He is a great guy but average NHL goalie at best. Glad we got rid of him. Markstrom looked great in both his starts Montreal game wasn't completely his fault and have full faith in Rollie that he will turn Markstrom into a bonafide starter.

LaBamba Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Always love Lack. He is by definition the perfect backup. There is nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 A Lack fan but deferred to Benning's obvious eye for talent. Markstron appears to have #1 potential as Miller slides into backup and as Van waits for Demko. It certainly look like JB did the right thing. A defense of Lack's play to date is that IMHO he has to play regularly. Not unusual for any tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Good for Eddie! Markstrom is doing well too which is more important. It will allow a Miller trade in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't trade Miller this season. I'd put the chances of a Miller trade at like 2% (this year).. If he didn't trade him last summer with Lack, why would he trade him this deadline? If anything he'll be dealt next year at the deadline, maybe, but I'm 90% sure Miller will leave Vancouver as a UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Miller would be a huge deal and as Senpai suggests not likely. I through it out as a option as Miller would likely bring a 1st Rounder back. Hoping that Benning can put enough draft depth together to swing a deal come June for a top pick (as in a top 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Moving Miller will be a tall order as he is 35+ and has had lower body injuries the last 2 seasons. If he cant be depended on for starters minutes, he has no value. Out of the older group, he has fallen the most. Lundqvist and Luongo seem to keep trucking along. If the Canucks really want to push youth, they should have another young goalie fight for ice time with Markstrom. 'Guaranteeing' a starter job for an unproven guy doesn't provide the proper motivation. They have to earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
