If I remember correctly, they don't even have a goalie coach.

Then they will have something over then Canucks , a decent goalie.

Markstrom was acquired on March 4th, 2014 at the age of 24. By all accounts he had very little to no coaching or training in the Panthers organization. He had all the physical tools and raw talent which he used to "wing-it".

He's had a year working with Rollie now, but still needs to work on not chasing the game, much the same as what Lack used to do.

Markstrom needs to get serious about training and becoming an NHL goaltender, which I think he is, from what I've read.

Rollie would do much better with him if he was in Van. so hopefully Benning will pull the trigger on Lack.

Then they will have something over then Canucks , a decent goalie.
- VANTEL

I guess. Better trade all the kids in Utica for a bag of pucks. If they haven't showed anything at the NGL level already they are garbage too.

Markstrom will go back to Europe if he's not given an opportunity with the Canucks or traded...that's poor asset management on a guy that has all the tools to be a good NHL'er.

He will this year

I think they need to ease him in, worst thing they could do is throw him into the fire and ruin his confidence. Give him 20 sheltered games under Miller, let him get his feet wet. Develop him properly and I think he'll be a good NHL'er.

He's 25!! Exactly a year older than Kassian who people want to hang onto to give him more time.

Are the Generals or Comets playing today?

What if Miller reinjures himself and is gone for months. This is something that can very well happen.

You always preach youth and rebuild. Only way that works is to give young unproven guys chances. Just Luke we did for lack

Can't live in the what if world, I guess you can but what's the point? If he gets hurt he gets hurt.

2016 NHL Draft Lottery

Beginning in 2016, the Draft Lottery will be utilized to assign the top three drafting slots in the NHL Draft, an expansion over previous years when the Draft Lottery was used to determine the winner of the first overall selection only.

Three draws will be held: the 1st Lottery draw will determine the Club selecting first overall, the 2nd Lottery draw will determine the Club selecting second overall and the 3rd Lottery draw will determine the club selecting third overall.

As a result of this change, the team earning the fewest points during the regular season will no longer be guaranteed, at worst, the second overall pick. That club could fall as low as fourth overall.

The allocation of odds for the 1st Lottery draw will be the same as outlined above for the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery. The odds for the remaining teams will increase on a proportionate basis for the 2nd Lottery draw, based on which Club wins the 1st Lottery draw, and again for the 3rd Lottery draw, based on which Club wins the 2nd Lottery draw.

The 11 Clubs not selected in the Draft Lottery will be assigned NHL Draft selections 4 through 14, in inverse order of regular-season points.

I can't see this team being a bottom 10 unless they try and tank.
