Lack did not play well in the playoffs against Calgary. He was 1-3 with a 3.03 GAA and .886 save percentage. Miller closed out the series after returning from a knee injury. Lack has one year left ($1.15 million average annual value) before becoming unrestricted. Lack does not have as much value on the market as Lehner. Shinzawa

I don't understand the one goalie has better value than the other because... Lack had a 3.03 gaa in the playoffs, Lehner wasn't in the playoffs so Lehner is better?. While Lehner had a regular season gaa of 3.02 this past season and 3.06 the season before...

The nice thing about Lehner is 2 years remaining on his contract and is still rfa when it expires. Then again, just over 2mill for a backup? half full, half empty.

I have nothing against Lehner, but it is so difficult to compare goalies when they have different teams playing in front of them.

Buffalo seems to have the most interest

Yes, get that 31.

I would take him as a salary dump if they included their 4 th overall. Then put him on waivers

The nature of a speculation site.

Could you see this happening? Wouldn't it be wonderful if this happened? Yes, he is worth more because he is a fan fave. It doesn't matter if he is cancer in the room, he puts up points.

If I was GM, I would have done this and that... but the other team wouldn't make that trade, but, but it works on NHL15...

Can't wait for the cup to be awarded and the trading to begin.

Their save percentage is a true measure of quality. Lehner's is .914 in 86 games, Lack's is .917 in 82 games. I'd trade for Lehner if I was a GM. Considering both are 100% healthy.

Could be something to this. Is this why they got those new Hotdogs at Rogers Arena?

typical nucks, willing to give away their best assets for nothing!

first luongo, then schneider, and then hypothetically kessel...LOL

is anyone really surprised your team has zero stanley cups?

and the best part is the team refuses to rebuild, so it hasnt even started yet.

give it a year, maybe 2 max, the canucks will be the worst canadian team. worse than edmonton, toronto, calgary, etc.

What do you mean Kessel is awesome.

- VANTEL

Haha, Edmonton goalie show. Sign, trade, acquire every young touted goalie out there and see if any of them can carry the team.

Scrivens and Fasth = Nope

Scrivens, Fasth, Lehner and/or Gibsons = TBD

And please don't sign Bartkowski to anything over 1M, we need offense back there and this guy doesn't have it.

Serious question - is a hotdog a sandwich?

I don't get why everyone is so hot to trade Lack. What will a pick 31-60 actually get us to replace Lack? Miller is gone in 2 years and Markstrom has never shown that he is an NHL goaltender, let alone a starter. After them, you have Cannata, Erikson and Demko. They all have potential, but that's about it.

I would suggest that if the Canucks didn't have to address Markstrom's contract (say he could play in the AHL another season), then no one would be talking about getting rid of Lack, and rather people would be talking about Lack replacing Miller and could Miller be traded to allow Lack the full time starter job. I have never heard anyone suggest Markstrom > Lack.

The Canucks are not loaded with top end goalie talent, and I would suggest keeping Miller and Lack and letting Markstrom go for a bag of pucks until Demko is available in 2 years is a reasonable plan. If you can improve upon the bag of pucks, great.

The other issue is, regardless of who is moved out between Miller, Lack and Markstrom, you still have Cannata and Erikson holding down AHL/ECHL responsibilities, and no other prospects in the pipe (barring Demko, another 2 seasons away). It would appear that Vancouver actually needs to acquire one or two goalie prospects to fill out the pipeline and hopefully build some competition to move up.

Wow, you certainly like to be a d!ck head. What is your motivation for trying to be such a troll. What does it matter to you if...during the slow days people make up facetious trade proposals.

And yes I know you are the foremost authority on hockey and know the game better than anyone ever born (according to you), I'm just so surprised that Shanadink didn't hire you before Babdink.

Seriously, Vantel and others are just trying to yank Nuckers chain. please, please go away.

You've got an admirer Vantel. I'd make sure the doors are locked tonight, otherwise you might find that someone has stolen all your g-strings.
