Junkyard Dog Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It came from the team 1040 according to HFboards. Not all that credible. I agree. If it were true the only catch of that trade would be if Markstrom is ready. If he isn't then we'd have to look for a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Why wouldn't they? Their forwards are getting older and they're gonna need young replacements. Boston also needs more skill right now since they're having trouble scoring. For starters he's 175 lbs. And a LW playing behind Lucic and Marchand. What they need is a RW and cap relief. More plausible IMO if Marchand is moved. But he is a two way effective forward with nuts. I highly doubt they will pencil Marchand and Lucic in on their top two lines if they trade Lucic for said cap relief. Plus they are a win now team. With 4 somewhat peewee size skilled forwards coming up the ranks (Pastrnak, Khokhlachev, Spooner & Seth Griffith), and none of any real size and substance (besides former 1st rounder Caron who has been on waivers this year); I could easily see a cpl of their smaller skilled prospects being packaged with a D man to solve what ails them at the moment?

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not at all. Lack's value is a second round pick. Kassian << El Nino Gotta agree here I want to keep Kassian but if this deal was available take it and run like mad. Highly doubt it's real though or it would have been made already.

Lui's Knob Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Kassian + lack to Minnesota for nederreiter and a 2nd 2015 Ugly trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundernuts Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've been a Nino fan since the world juniors here in Van, but he does seem to have some defensive issues. Still an upgrade on Kassian though. Hate to lose Lack, but he needs to play. At 27, if he is ever going to be a starter, he will have to be moved.

Canucks Curse Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Kassian + lack to Minnesota for nederreiter and a 2nd 2015 Ewwww, not unless that 2nd is a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ewwww, not unless that 2nd is a first. obviously the canucks need the best return possible but I'd much rather see lack and/or kassian sent to an eastern team. I feel lack has legit starter potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 For starters he's 175 lbs. And a LW playing behind Lucic and Marchand. For starters he's 18 years old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrChill Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ewwww, not unless that 2nd is a first. Seriously? Nino>Kassian Lack~2nd goalies aren't worth a lot that is why package to get a better return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 For starters he's 18 years old... Thats fine. The odd's of him being an impact player as a 175 lb 18 year old are extremely slim. I mean its possible? It is more plausible to bet on it taking more time. As well as dangerous to rush the kid. One nice goal and a rebound goal is far to early to be anointing the guy as a star. I'd also bet on the B's doing an upgrade at forward before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thats fine. The odd's of him being an impact player as a 175 lb 18 year old are extremely slim. No, at 18 it means he can likely add at least 15 pounds to his frame over the next few years and top out at 190-195, which is the average weight for a forward. He already has the skill to be an impact player, just needs to add some muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 On the Minny "rumour": If Minnesota wanted in upgrade in goaltending, why would they want Lack or Markstrom. They're trying to upgrade from Kuemper. Not bring in pretty much the same thing (in Lack) or less (in Markstrom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already has the skill to be an impact player, just needs to add some muscle. Fair enough. But it also suggests he is only in NHL this week, before he is fully developed and ready, because the B's don't have better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_The_Schneid! Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm surprised people haven't blown that minny rumour up Kinda seems like Benning is shopping kass Jensen is a kass replacement Bring us a d prospect and a pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftmN Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 We did blow up that Minny rumour. Reported by team1040, aka dreger 2.0. However there may be some substance to Minny wanting a goalie, they are apparently going after a Buffalo goalie, Cox said that so once again not hugely reliable.

vcrguy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Markstrom would make more sense for them considering Lack's age. Lack would make more sense considering he's an NHL goalie and not an AHL one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
