EvoLu7ioN Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If I'm the GM of a team in need of a goaltender, I'm throwing Eddie Lack an offer sheet on July 1st. He's got vast untapped potential, all the physical tools to dominate in the NHL, and most importantly, has been developed the right way which gives him game a lot of mental stability. $1,567,043 — $3,134,088: Second-round pick It's a bit of a gamble, but it would only cost an opposing team a second rounder, which is worth it IMO. Throw him an offer sheet at say 2.5M for 2 years, and mention to him he has the chance to compete for the starter position. Does Vancouver really want that extra million + on the books in their window to win when the cap becomes so crucial, definitely not. I really hope Gillis has thought about this and has a plan of attack in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradinToSmyl Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Anyone remember the last time a player who had NEVER played an NHL game was offer sheeted? It's like a car full of children just learned a new sound and can't stop making it. (BTW, there is an answer to that question) In the spirit of being nicer, I would like to commend you on your grammar and format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KicKassian Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Theres no cap hit if you are in the AHL and he isn't a proven guy so why would anyone sign him for 3 mil and get stuck with it if he busts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Lack is a starting goaltender/master chef combo. A rare breed, all the fat GMs want him bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keslerian one Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I can't see any team willing to offer sheet an AHL goalie to improve their goaltending situation. Which team? Toronto wants a veteran, TB has great young goalies in the pipeline and Lindback is farther along in development than Lack, Chicago won't replace Crawford for Lack, Florida wants a veteran to go with Markstrom... Just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 No, not every rfa out there is offersheet-worthy. Christ, he hasn't even played in the NHL yet. Why would a team be urged to poach him from the Wolves trying a low-cost offersheet? Totally futile. Next? TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradinToSmyl Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 You'd take a 2nd for Eddie? He's a top goaltending prospect. Why not keep him and have a better return later? (or trade CS and make Lack the starter down the road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 To the OP's defence, people were speculating on Twitter about it. For a team with terrible goaltending, Lack coukd make a bit of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AriGold Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Our AHL player wont be offer Sheeted. I know the Ducks are a sour organization that Schultz walks so if he signs with us I could see them trying to throw a wrench into our team. Not sure how though.

forklift_ole Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wasn't there something like, if an offer sheet you tender is signed the player has to be on the active roster? So if a team did give Lack an offer sheet they couldn't have him in the AHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
