HC20.0 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Seems like they are probably planning to start him on Thursday against Columbus. Don't see any other reason they'd send him down to play one game then bring him back up to sit for the next 3 weeks. Because of the emergancy waivers. They were at the point where Markstrom would've had to have cleared waivers again to be sent down if he'd stayed longer. The Canucks would've lost him. Smart move by JB. Also, I think they wanted to give him his confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Consider the long game. One of the goalies will be moved by the draft. It is unlikely that it will be Miller so it is either Lack or Markstrom. Lack is showing us right now that he is a keeper. So, Markstrom needs starts to prove to the world that he can play in the NHL or else his price will be miniscule. I get that the Canucks are in a tough playoff race. The more time that goes by, the more difficult it may be to slot Markstrom in. The flip side is that Lack's stock is on the rise. If they move Lack (or even Miller), then what assurances do we have that Markstrom can even be the back up next year if he doesn't get starts. Or, do the Canucks just take it on the chin and accept a 5th to 7th round pick for Markstrom because his NHL stats are terrible. 12-28-5, 3.25 GAA, <900 S% Markstrom was rushed by Florida before he was close to NHL ready. The Panthers destroyed his game and confidence. The nearly ruined his career completely. The Canucks are trying to get his career back on track, and so far are doing a good job. He's ripping up the AHL. He just needs confidence in the NHL now. I believe Markstrom can be elite one day, and Vancouver thinks so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 ^^^ so you think they keep Markstrom and move Lack for that reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 **Dragonfruits** Markstrom will have to clear waivers next year. The Canucks sure aren't going to carry 3 goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Crosby Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Didn't he just play 2 games in Utica. I don't think he plays in Philly but slots in vs Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Because of the emergancy waivers. They were at the point where Markstrom would've had to have cleared waivers again to be sent down if he'd stayed longer. The Canucks would've lost him. Smart move by JB. Also, I think they wanted to give him his confidence back. No, they weren't. Even if it was a regular call up, the 30 days allowed on the roster are cumulative so that is a running total from all the times he's been called up this year. That means it wouldn't matter if they sent him down and called him back up again to try and break up his time on the roster. But, the emergency waivers allow for Markstrom to stay up for as long as Miller is injured without needing to pass through waivers again. He's required to be sent down the minute Miller is off IR as a part of that condition, and if he plays in 10 games (again, cumulative) then he'd require waivers again.

Outsiders Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's REALLY cute you of all people would post something like that. Just thought i'd point that glaringly obvious thing out for you.

Brick Tamland Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Eddie has been resting for 2 days... I wouldn't mind running with him until the Coyotes game on Sunday. I'm sure Eddie is capable of playing Tuesday, Thurs and Saturday. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 OP, I know it's your thing and all, but the big yellow "developing" sign is a bit of overkill considering we knew when he was sent down that he was going to get called back up after the weekend. EDIT: for correctness, it's developing not breaking. You're embarrassing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greetingsfrombrazil Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The Canucks are not the best team when playing in the second game of back to backs, Lack didn't have much support when put in those situations. I say play Markstrom against Columbus. He'll have practiced with the team a couple of times by then and the guys will be rested. No excuses there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright colors should be only used for fruit, rainbows and causing seizures! If I want to see yellow I'll look at a damn banana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
