The Horvatian One Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Late-Night-Update-Bruins-and-Vermette-Canucks-and-Michal-Neuvirth/1/66614 Also, the Canucks Ryan Miller went down tonight, and I am hearing they made a call to Buffalo looking at Michal Neuvirth as a possible pickup...Neuvirth has shown he can perform in the playoffs previously... The early indications on the Miller injury are very hush-hush, but those close fear the worst. If Ryan Miller is indeed out for a while, then I can see a move where the Canucks try and acquire another goalie for insurance. Just not Neuvirth, I think a older veteran who can play behind Lack would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Mulder Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 So this means we have no interest in Neuvirth then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This is Eklund. This is what Eklund tries to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If we have a previous deal to send Lack/Markstrom somewhere then this could make sense. Could. Without knowing about Miller it's impossible to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dral Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Because what we really need is another goalie who needs to pass waivers if we sent him down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This trade rumour seems very unlikely considering Canucks are VERY deep in goaltending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Michal Neuvirth is one bad goaltender. Please don't be true! if it is, then I have to question Benning's decision. The reason Buffalo traded away Enroth is because Neuvirth sucks. I mean it, he sucks big time. If you want a top 6 pick then yes pick him up.

Provost Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 So if Miller is down for the count, then why not bring up Markstrom? He has to be traded before next season anyways (or Lack) as either of them would have to clear waivers again and would get picked up. The only way it makes any sense to pick up another goalie is if Miller is out a medium amount of time where we couldn't send Markstrom back without being exposed to waivers again but too long for an emergency call up.

You couldn't be more wrong. In fact, I think you're so wrong that the Sabres would rather sign him to a multi-year deal than trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it makes any sense to pick up another goalie is if Miller is out a medium amount of time where we couldn't send Markstrom back without being exposed to waivers again but too long for an emergency call up. The other way…. Miller is badly hurt and we have a pending deal to send one of our goalies somewhere that we don't want falling apart. In this scenario, the cost of getting Neuvirth would be offset by the return, and amount of time and effort that was already expended, going into getting the other deal, or deals as the case may be, done.

Odd. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 When you read the tag [Rumor-Eklund], you already know that it is 98.0% false and that odd 2%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Not sure why we need to do this, but: If Miller is out for more than a week, and if Lack or Markstrom are in trade talks, then: It would probably make sense to acquire more seasoned guy like Neuvirth to have behind Lack or Markstrom as insurance.
