Lundqvist is a really intriguing option if we can’t get Marky signed. The knowledge he could pass down to Demko would be invaluable. 

And Vancouver loves it's Swedes.

Well Eriksson can move on....

Kind of reminds me of a few of Curtis Joseph's playoff seasons...

1992/93 - .938 sv% in 11 games in which he made 438 saves....

.928 for Toronto in 1998

.932 in 2000

.939 in 2004....1.39 gaa

61, 57, 54 save performances...

Watching his career highlight package/farewell video honestly jogged my memory on just how good he actually was/is.

 

I remember in '05 when he seemingly came out of nowhere. The impact he had on goaltending in Sweden is unprecedented. I mean, he's a good-looking dude, well-dressed, well-spoken... but on the ice he truly was a rockstar. Just unreal reflexes and an energetic style of netminding. Entire waves of Swedish goalies were emulating him (and even others like Shesterkin claiming he was his idol growing up).

 

I would love to see him in our team colours for a year or two (at a cheap cost, of course).

Not saying this is happening but the cap total would be fairly close +/- 1-2M if Jimbo sharpened up his negotiation skills.  What do you choose if it was an option:

 

1)

Pietrangelo (9M)

Demko (1M)

Lundquist (3M)

 

or

 

2)

Tanev (5M)

Markstrom (6M)

Demko (1M)

I think I’d take a crack at Flower first. I just don’t see Henry coming to the west.

This rules out he will retire.

Back up plan if we lose Marky. Sign him to 3M max to share duties with Demko. 
 

Use the extra cap for Toffoli and perhaps a big fish defenceman or Tanev.

Yup my thoughts exactly. I like your plan number 1

Wow, apparently he's signing with the Caps for $1.5m on a 1 year deal... That's a steal for the Caps.  Imagining if Benning signed him for that, we'd probably be able to keep Toffoli and Tanev.

 

I'm sure Lundquist wanted to play for the caps for a chance at the cup though.  Doubt he would have signed here for that.
