CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have a feeling Lack will be moved. As much as he is a funny a great teammate, Miller adds stability and really his ability to up his game helps the confidence, and Markstrom's ceiling is a lot higher than Lack's. We all knew Benning liked Markstrom and knew his potential which is evident of why he sent Markstrom down early and hid him away during the preseason like a coveted toy. TBH I really want a swedish duo in net and rather trade Miller, but that probably wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can move up in the 1st round out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Markstrom shows the signs of being a solid NHL goaltender, than it would definitely make sense to move Lack or Miller at some point. Lack would probably be the easier of the two to move, especially if it's as soon as next year. That being said, Markstrom has done well at the AHL level before, he's just never been able to play solidly in the NHL. Rollie and Co. are undoing a lot of damage done in Florida where Markstrom was essentially expected to develop on his own. I think they'll be able to get him back on track, but I'm am unsure as to what extent they can correct Florida's mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) News1130 Sports@News1130Sports Markstrom : "Dan Cloutier has been down here twice, him and Rollie coach the same way, Dan tells you the small things you don't notice". I still don't understand why people are so hard on Cloutier as a goaltender consultant. Was he the best goaltender to ever lace them up? Nope, definitely not. However, you don't have to be the physical best at something to understand the mechanics and how-tos of a position. Playing ability and teaching ability don't always go hand in hand. It's like how Gretzky was the best to play, and an incredibly mediocre coach. Cloutier sounds like he's doing a fine job. You forgot this part "I think coming to Vancouver might have been the best thing for his career.” Honestly, it's nice to hear a lot of confidence in our organization and prospects for once.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Trade lack + to a goalie less team for a 1st That depends though if teams need goaltending and if Lack has been playing well. If that was the case i'd use Lack and our 1st to move up in the 1st round hopefully top 10. That's wishful thinking though.

Lancaster Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I would rather the Canucks move Miller instead of either Lack or Markstrom. Elite goaltending is definitely important, but I feel the Canucks should do a 1A 1B kinda situation, much like how the Wild had both Fernandez/Roloson or Backstrom/Harding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the stop gap for Markstrom. I don't trust Lack yet as a starter. I need a veteran presence back there so I can feel comfortable with our goaltending.

If so, I'm sorry. Article is about Markstrom from Melanson. A quote from the article: “He was looking for answers and he was looking for a plan and we tried to do that for him,” Melanson said. “As you see with a big frame like he has at 6-6, he just needs to be playing in the middle of the blue ice and let the game come to him – and that’s what he is doing.” I wonder what the goalie coach situation was like in Florida - if they even have one. It really seems like Markstrom was on his own in terms of development. Now that we have two guys working with him, we're seeing glimpses of his true potential.

timberz21 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I'm wondering if Miller or Lack get injured, hope not "knock on wood", and we recalled Markstrom. Once the injured goalie comes back, do Markstrom has to go through waivers again if we send him back down? I think if it's not for a long, there can be an emergency call-up and maybe he wouldn't have to go through waivers again once returned to Utica, but if the injury is a few weeks/months? How does it work? Would the Canucks recall Eriksson instead of Markstrom, despite his stellar play, in fear of losing him through waivers?
