Markstrom requests a trade (or not)

[Skinnyjimmy08]

too bad... I still love his upside.......

•Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: With Canucks signing Ryan Miller, it’s believed that Jacob Markstrom has asked for a trade if they can.


“That situation could work itself out over the summer,†Benning said. “The teams that are interested may have to move out another guy.

“We’re exploring that for Jacob. But if that doesn’t happen, Jacob comes to camp. He has a good attitude. He understands the situation.

“Look at Minnesota last year. They went through about five goalies.â

Finally something that puts to rest all the panic about Lack being the one who will be traded.

^ oh good, we won't lose lack for nothing for another two years.

 

[Master Radishes]

Don't blame him. It's too bad - I was looking forward to seeing what Markstrom can do. He and Lack could have really pushed each other. But Miller is the best goalie of the bunch, and that's all that matters.

I hope he finds success somewhere.

I imagine his value is off the charts, he was the centre piece in the Luongo deal.

A 1st in 2015 and a top prospect?

Maybe we can package him with Tanev and a 2nd for a star player.

 

[TwelveMind]

Was really hoping to see how Markstrom would turn out under Rolie's tutelage, so this is disappointing news.

But we may lose Markstrom for nothing.

I've been peddling this trade and I'd like some feedback.


Niemi


Miller

Keep the Lack/Marks duo after Niemi's contract runs out

It bares repeating that this is a non hostile trade request.

Right now it is. No games are going to be played for three months.

where's he gonna go in 2 years? Where are all the available goalie openings for him to go to.

 

[kurt]

Haha, oh man.

 

[bo2shink*]

Haha, oh man.

"Goalie who has proven absolutely nothing requests trade". I sure hope Joe Cannata doesn't here about this.

i don't know willy. lemme check my crystal ball…


oh right:

It just highlights how bizarre the Miller signing looks in the context of a rebuild effort though. Hopefully they can get Markstrom comfortable and move Miller for future value before the deadline.

 

[SweedishKeepers]

Shouldn't get our hopes up on a great return right?

Ya thats not gonna happen

 

[tonydif]

if he makes 1.2 million to play in minors, no one will pick him up off waivers...he will clear no problem.

Why not? A deadline buyer could have injury problems or a lack of depth in goal going into the playoffs, and may be willing to give a decent return for him, and he may be willing to go to a contender. It seems keeping him will only negatively affect the Canucks' draft position, and ties up cap space in goal when Lack/Markstrom is waiting in the wings.

Unless Lack is considered a bust, then I guess it's important Miller is a part of the organization.

issue isn't the minors, issue is the two goalies in the minors who the Canucks already have. There is no space for him right meow. Eriksson and Canatta are both younger and cheaper.

He will get traded for a conditional pick, maybe a 5th that turns into a 4th if he plays 10 games or something like that.

I just can't see Benning and Linden doing that. They have not admitted to rebuilding. We are suppose to be a playoff team this year... With us spending to the cap we sure as hell should be.

Maybe we can get a 2015 2nd rounder for Markstrom... Similar to what Calgary gave up to San Jose when they traded for Mikkaa Kiprusoff. I don't know what teams need goalies though.. Winnipeg?

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

oh that Luongo trade was so horrendous. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to waive him.

Honestly, I don't think this would ever happen, at best this trade is a wash and doesn't really help either team. As well, Miller probably has the greater upside of the two and will look to rebound next year.

As well, contrary to popular belief on HFboards, I actually don't think mgmt. believes lack will ever be an elite #1 goalie, hence the Miller signing with the 3 year term - their intention was always to look for help in the net.
