Check out the article in the Calgary Herald about this trade. Burke wasn't the friendliest GM to Sven, "I'm not going to rip him, I think you can tell from my comments that I see big holes and a lack of commitment. That's not going to get him anywhere in my books." and "He's got to learn that there are three zones on the ice surface." That's just demoralizing. Seriously we had way worse problems with Kassian, Gillis and JB never said anything to that degree. They both just talked about Kassian's need for consistency and all the positives he could bring if he pulled it together. From Benning's comments it looks like he's going to give the team a chance and then start making changes. We've got a bunch of vets that can be packaged for picks or prospects. Plus Weber, Stanton and Biega have been playing beyond their depth status, which gives us more options to recover picks. If Sven is inconsistent defensively, another year in the AHL with his former junior coach should make that pill a little easier to swallow.

Option 4. Matthias

Burrows has answered this question. Why is this thread still alive?

Saw his game against san antonio, he's been playing like he's got something to prove. Agreed that it would be horrible to lose him to another team because he was the bulk of what we got in the Luongo trade. I think it would be better to have a Lack and Markstrom tandem maybe after this year or midway through next season. Miller's going to fetch a bigger return than either of them in the next few years, it doesn't make sense losing Miller to free agency when we can deal him for an asset. With a Lack and Markstrom tandem, we can showcase both goalies and increase the return on either of them, maybe another top 10 pick.

Gone Girl - 10/10. David Fincher and Rosamund Pike killed it. This isn't a movie to see with your parents.

I'd wait til the trade deadline to decide. Lack is good enough to play in a 1A and 1B system. Completely unsure if Markstrom could be the 1B though. I want to see Markstrom play, partly to see what the hell we got in return for Luongo, but if Markstrom can emerge as a 1B than we save cap space and may possibly be able to go after a better FA.
