Santo Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I can't find the source, because I heard it while driving on TSN 1040 earlier today. Anyway, they rightly admit that Lack has a lot of trade value, and I think it may have been Sekeres who said he thinks quote "Lack will be an elite NHL starter". But the weird thing is, the hosts kept suggesting the Canucks deal him and see what he's worth on the open market. It wouldn't hurt to see what your asset is worth, by all means play the market. But they seemed adament that now is the time to get value for him. I can't say I agree. I'm hoping that the Canucks don't even consider trading him. Of all the goalies, I'd keep Lack around long-term. He seems like our last chance at a young elite goalie for the next several years. Would you guys be up for trading Eddie? If you would, Markstrom or Eriksson as Miller's backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Why did they change there name from Team1040 to Tsn1040. I hate the new name. TSN sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I would trade Eddie if the price was right but it would have to be a very high price that I just don't think he could fetch on his own. Basically, Eddie is a rock and I think the team is much better with him than without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyllenhaal Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I don't want to trade Lack but if the return was worth it then i wouldn't be too upset. An example would be using him in a trade to get E. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Keep him.. You never know when Miller is going to start losing it... and Markstrom isn't NHL ready yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Most teams have a quality starter. He's worth a 2nd at most imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 TSN bought the station TSN always owned the station I believe, I think they just changed the name to fit with the other stations. As for the question, I wouldn't trade Lack. Best bet to pan out IMO. If he were traded, I'd have Markstrom as the backup no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So in a league where even the frigging jets are waiving goalies they just traded for Lack with less overall starts than Schneider now has Buko Value? Huh...stick to Toronto because you can't canuck to save your life TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 At the right price sure but until he plays himself into elite level status by playing teams won't be willing to pay elite worth for him. Definitely not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Definitely worth less than Schneider , so your looking at a 2nd or late first by a desperate team Halak after a magical run went for Eller and a late 2nd So if we Re going to trade him it would be in the offseason, because picks doesn't help us during the season and if Miller gets injured we would be in trouble as lack is way more ready than matkstrom to take the load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoewsables Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Goalies with a small track record such as Lack's generally don't return much of anything in a trade. His value to the team far exceeds whatever he'd return in a trade, especially considering goaltenders generally have less value than skaters do. Hanging on to Lack and waiting for him to steal the #1 job should be the plan, as far as I'm concerned. The sooner we can dump Miller's albatross of a contract, the better. Hopefully another team is dumb enough to take him off our hands before he becomes completely unmovable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Situations can arise that catapult value. For example, imagine NYI is faring darn well(firmly in a PO spot), & their 'tender Halak is performing superbly. Suddenly he's seriously injured, & their BU's have been lumps in his stead. There's potential they slide back, handing a top 2015 pick to Buff. I'd say this scenario would tighten Snow's collar significantly. Also imagine there'D been a number of gt injuries, & no Eastern GM's want to assist a strong rival... If you have an extra excellent 'tender, a team might be able to extract a Pulock or Reinhart(with a small add, perhaps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It makes sense to trade Lack if Markstrom starts proving himself in the NHL. Whatever will get you the best return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lui's Knob Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Get rid of markstrom. Lack has way more potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You know? Scratch my last post. I would hold on to Lack unless the return was the most lopsided trade in NHL history. Eddie gives us a chance to win every time he suits up. He's the kind of backup goalie that you can put in against bottom feeders or contenders and be confident with. How many teams in the league would kill for that insurance? Plus, there's the fact that everything I've seen of him leads me to believe that he'll be a Vezina candidate one day (ONE DAY, not now). I don't want to give that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully another team is dumb enough to take him off our hands before he becomes completely unmovable. I echo the first paragraph. The 2knd? Well I have no problem if Lack steals the starters job. I'm not trading anyone till Lack proves he is a starter and one (if not both) of Eriksson or Markstrom prove they are capable back ups. That might even take an injury call up. Now that Markstrom has cleared we have the luxury of patience. I probably would phrase my expectation as waiting till nature takes its course.

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'd give it a full season at the very least before I'd even consider trading Lack. There are too many big 'ifs' right now when it comes to our goaltending depth, whether it has to do with Miller's performance or how Markstrom and Ericsson develop in the minors. It wouldn't be fair at this point to evaluate how Demko will do as a pro, considering that he's still a teenager and will most likely finish college hockey all the way through to the end. Still, there are too many question marks surrounding the certainty of this organization's goaltending abilities to even consider trading Lack. Keeping Lack around is absolutely vital for Vancouver right now. Letting Miller and Lack play their fair share of games for Vancouver this season is the absolute best option at this point.
