Darius Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 T Quote The Chicago Blackhawks today acquired a third-round pick in the 2017 National Hockey League Draft from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Scott Darling. https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/blackhawks-acquire-draft-pick-from-carolina/c-289160318 I guess this might be the end of the road for Lack in Carolina?

DeNiro Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 To anyone who thinks we didn't get enough for Lack. This is the market value for a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Just heard Frieman say Darling is a pending UFA. A steep price for a short window to sign a backup goalie I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a blessing in disguise. He's been cursed since he went to the hurricanes. His asshole coach called him out to the media as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 ah man he was among the worst goalies since he left the canucks jb was wise to move him when he did he is likely done really nice guy .. great personality but a bit lacking in skill at the nhl level reminds me a bit too much of the corrado sentiments on here a marginal player who was liked but him moving on was not a loss to the team man . many of us would give a left nuttt to play in the nhl even for the limited games and medicore performance lack delivered he might have a good ahl career though good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 18-13-4 was his best record when we traded him. I think that was the highest value he was at for the trade. What did we get for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the 66th pick in 2015 which Benning turned into Brisebois and the 7th rounder in 2016... cant remember who they got for that and Im too lazy to look it up!

Quantum Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 A 3rd rounder for the UFA negotiating rights for Scott Darling? That's a win for the Blackhawks. Blackhawks were clearly not going to be able to sign Darling (since Darling's angling for a starters job). It'll be interesting if Darling ends up signing with Carolina (to be there new starter) or if he ends up testing his market value. This likely means, no matter what, both Cam Ward and Eddie Lack will be exposed in the expansion draft with Scott being protected (to keep the negotiating rights). Regardless, I think the Hurricanes will lose Lee Stempniak, either way. That said, I'm curious who the Blackhawks want as their backup next season now that Darling is gone. The Blackhawks don't really have a prime candidate in their system to replace Darling outside of Jeff Glass. Either Glass is the shoe in or they'll be making another move to get a backup... likely once the expansion draft happens. I could see the Blackhawks going after a guy like Troy Grosenick (San Jose), Adam Wilcox (Florida) or Pheonix Copley (St. Louis) as their backup next year... both cheap, AHL proven goalies who haven't been able to break through the goalie clog on their teams.

In all honesty? I don't think the Blackhawks would need to make a deal to find a serviceable backup. Crawford is their man for the foreseeable future and there will be enough decent backups hitting free agency. I bet Bowman is laughing that he got a 3rd for a backup goalie he had no intention of re-signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
