Confirmed with Link: [VAN/CAR] Canucks acquire 2015 3rd (66TH OA), 2016 7th for G Eddie Lack

[just22]

Well at least he got an extra 7th rounder next year.

Wouldn't be surprised if he negotiated for it and felt really proud of himself. Then Weisbrod gave him a star and said you can go play now.

 

[Tim McCracken]

This franchise is completely dysfunctional. On top of that, the GM is a raging moron.

Yes, and it starts with ownership but I can hardly wait for Linden's mug to flash across my tv screen reinforcing their vision to the fanbase. Overrated player, overrated team exec.

 

[nameless1]

I mean, i guess the Canes probably flip Khudobin to the Oilers now, where he's got some familiarity with Chiarelli.

Probably for more than we got for Lack, and then the Canucks board burns to the ground.

I see Khudobin for a third and fifth.
Yep...
That is better than what Lack got.

[ugghhh]

Well.. beyond the return, I was hoping he'd go somewhere he could be the starter.

If they got that return for Markstrom it would make more sense.

We could have traded down 5 spots and gotten a better pick ....

 

[VanCanucks53]

Stupid move. Didnt want to trade Lack to begin with but had accepted it since it was clearly inevitable but to see this return? Awful.

Why not trade Markstrom if this is the return you're getting for Lack. I'd rather even have gotten a 5th for Markstrom and have kept Lack.

I've disliked a lot of Benning's moves but have still been patient with him and taken a more wait and see approach but come on. I just dont feel anything positive happening. Its been one misstep after another.

 

[McHortton]

What a ****ing moron. Lehner went for a ****ing 1st Jesus Christ. And he ruined the Bieksa deal. So upset right now. Should have just traded Markstrom.

 

[nameless1]

It wouldn't surprise me if they trade Demko in two years for a 6th rder, low level prospect to make room for another veteran UFA signing goaltender. Ugh. ****.

Hopefully someone competent is in charge by then.

[TL12]

Maybe Lack only nets a 3rd because he will be a UFA? Gonna miss the Lack dance..

 

[Ace of Hades]

I fear for what will happen to Kassian. I really do.

 

[Rex Banner]

I can't wait to watch Miller and Markstrom **** the bed next season. Way to trade away the one guy that actually got the building making some noise.

 

[King In The North]

3rd round pick in a deep draft I like the trade... Lack was never going to lead us to a Stanley Cup. Too many goalies are available to get a bidding war..

Don't ever love a player only like him.... I get lack was funny and seemed like one of your buddies but he's a middle tier goalie. Maybe the 3rd rd pick will lead Nucks to a cup one day IDK but I do know Lack would of never done it

Lack can't lead you to a cup but you think a 3rd round pick could?

Benning should have absolutely kept Lack, he played much better than Vancouver's current options.

 

[Jay Cee]

Meh, it was not a great return. I don't see why we had to pull the trigger today, unless someone was in that 2-3 round that they really liked and think they could get.

Don't really see the big deal. I guess I just don't see the quality goalie so many other people see, or want to see because they like his twitter antics. I was kind of prepared for the inevitability of this, it was not a very good goalie market, as I said from the start of the off season.

 

[Wisp]

We're all ungrateful. Everyone railed against Gillis, but Schneider returned 9th overall. He was in a tough place and made a decision that made us better.

What does this get us? Crappy pick and Heartbreak. Basically a catch and win ticket.

 

[arsmaster*]

Recouped his picks.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Glad I decided to check out Calgary next season. Should we even be surprised? Benning came from the Bruins and trades like a Bruin.

 

[nameless1]

Well.. beyond the return, I was hoping he'd go somewhere he could be the starter.

If they got that return for Markstrom it would make more sense.

We could have traded down 5 spots and gotten a better pick ....

Lack will be the starter.
He is already better than both of Carolina's current goalies.
Both of them are also UFAs next year...
So either one of them is not that hard to get rid of.

The Canucks got swindled by Carolina.
That just brings more tears to my eyes.

Really???

 

[nameless1]

Recouped his picks.

Half.
He is still missing that 2nd he harped so loudly about.

 

[TARS]

It's not even surprising. You could see this coming from the day Miller was signed to that ridiculous contract. It basically assured we'd be losing Lack for less than value.

Almost every move that has been made under this management group has been in the wrong direction.

 

[opendoor]

Recouped his picks.

Hopefully that knob realizes how tough it can be "recoup" decent picks and doesn't throw them around like candy on every soon to be waiver eligible AHLer he falls in love with now.

 

[me2]

glass half full time: Benning got the 7th instead of adding it this time. Recouped the one we have to pay Tampa to take Garrison.

 

[Tim McCracken]

We're all ungrateful. Everyone railed against Gillis, but Schneider returned 9th overall.

And for good reason. Schneider is a way better goalie than Lack and Gillis should have received a decent roster player in addition to the pick. Doesn't change the fact I think Lack is worth more than his return though but it's not like they turned down a 2nd, it likely was never even tabled. Didn't like the signing of Miller at the time, didn't like it during the season, and like it less now.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

What a ****ing moron. Lehner went for a ****ing 1st Jesus Christ. And he ruined the Bieksa deal. So upset right now. Should have just traded Markstrom.

I thought that too but he obviously feels that Markstrom has a higher ceiling. That's the only way he doesn't do that imo.

 

[biturbo19]

What a ****ing moron. Lehner went for a ****ing 1st Jesus Christ. And he ruined the Bieksa deal. So upset right now. Should have just traded Markstrom.

This is a crappy return, no doubt.

But the Lehner trade is definitely the wrong measuring stick to go by.


Lehner is a few years younger, controlled asset well beyond this season, after which Lack is going to be either seeking at least "low end starter money", or potentially just walking outright. And it's pretty clear in the end that Tim Murray had eyes only for Lehner with his familiarity there.

This still sucks though.

 

[nuckfan insk]

Well at least I still have the Rough Riders.

Haha yeah buddy !!!
