"given Jim Benning's long-term loyalty to his old pal from Buffalo, I'd be very surprised if Miller ends up being the goalie that's traded by Vancouver this summer"

Me too!! Lack must go - LeftCoaster
Yup. It's systematic. Lack has the only value right now to fill a need/return.
Markstrom can gain value as Miller's backup next season then we can move him for an asset as well. Miller we will be basically dumping his salary so not much there.
Cannata and then Eriksson can fight it out to see who backs up Demko.

Demko is likely 5 years away if he even makes it, he should be Lack's protege. I don't understand why people would want to move the goalie with the best chance of actually being a starter for a marginal return.
Miller will only get worse as he ages, Markstrom is still a huge question mark in the NHL. Keep the goalie entering his prime who is already the teams best goalie unless the return is overwhelming, which is doubtful in this current market.
I think Lack is only going to get better because he takes his offseason training very seriously. He's always trying to get that edge that will make him better whether it is in regards to fitness or theoretical work. Sedins have taught him well.

Demko could turn into the next Markstrom too. Highly touted prospect but not guaranteed to be a #1 or it could be a long process to get there.

I'd sell high on Markstrom. Keep miller and lack. Play them about 50/50 if lack is better then miller at the tdl get rid of miller.
Ehrhoff was not "terrific" for Pittsburgh when he was healthy. He was solid but didn't produce as much offense as expected. He's probably a fair value between $4-$5m/yr as a 2nd pairing dmen.
