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

[iceburg]

Or the other scenario is that Miller goes down with another groin injury or a knee, and Markstrom is the 'go-to-guy', and unfortunately proves he can't play in the NHL....then at least Benning might get his wish, a top-10 pick in next year's draft...or maybe he trades for Lack at the deadline, and he comes in for another late-season rescue mission

...even better. He trades for Lack offering a 2nd and 3rd in 2016

 

[timorousme]

it is what it is and shouldn't be shocking.

 

[carolinacanuck]

the biggest transition for lack may be the attention he won't receive down here.

soon after the trade happened, 1040 was all over the main players getting reactions on-air.

not down here. have hardly heard a peep.

too many other sports/teams competing for the front page.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Lack is cheaper, younger and better then Miller... hahaha

JB is running this team in the ground

****ing idiot

 

[David Bruce Banner]

This guy has no clue how to trade. Worst trading GM we have ever had.

Not even close.

Still, based on this return, I would have been just as happy keeping Lack and losing Markstrom.

 

[TraderJim]

Not even close.

Worst one since before Quinn IMO. I was too young before Quinn to give proper context but for my memory I haven't seen someone lose every trade this bad.

 

[offbeatgravy]

What a terrible return, I didn't like the Miller signing when it happened because of this scenario. Trading a better, younger goalie because we handcuffed ourselves.....again.

 

[GPNuck]

who was worse?

Well young man, let me share this story about the time a fellow by the name of Jack Gordon traded the first ever Canucks drafted Hall of Famer.......

 

[denkiteki]

Horrible value, think im going to pay a lot less attention to the team until we change management group. Haven't agreed with most decisions he has made (except for players he drafted, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt there). Realistically he should be a head scout and not a GM.

Really all that needs to be said.

i wish we drafted Konecny but I'll wait and see how Boeser develops

I am old enough and I can tell you it was worse in the Jack Gordon and Jake Milford days. Barry Pederson for Cam Neely, the worst trade in Canuck history.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Nobody can convince me that markstrom couldnt have gotten a third. The value is so ficked but hey if thats the best offer jb got might as well take it. Being in the huge rush to trade a goalie and all.

 

[corman]

Where was the line up of gm's around the league knocking at Vancouver's door offering the moon for lack!? You are all whining like we just gave away the Second coming of Ken Dryden for nothing. Nobody stepped up to bat and offered a second round pick. Get over it, He is a great guy but outside of the Vancouver market, he was just another back up goalie on the trade market.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

who was worse?

Jack Gordon was the worst. Harry Neale and Jake Milford weren't much better.

There's a reason the Canucks hold the NHL record for most consecutive losing seasons (1976-1991)

Where was the gun to Benning's head forcing him to accept the 3rd for Lack?

Actually a team did according the saint Linden.

Jake Milford had some dogs but he did get us Gradin, Brodeur, Bolderev, McCarthy, and Rota. Best of a medicore lot IMHO.

The market is telling you that is all he is worth. Get over it, he was a average backup goalie. He isn't Carey Price, people need the step away from the ledge.

yup love the gm lying to us and then the president saying otherwise.
also didn't ask Bieksa to waive yet we somehow had asked him to waive and that he is a professional and it'll be fine.

Apparently Lack is just a backup goaltender that is worthless on the market. Yet we are afraid of having him in the division being used as a #1 for a rival.

you'll find out you are wrong in under a season. Keep drumming for the Benning bandwagon though.

and no i'm not saying he is carey price...

 

[Barney Gumble]

The market is telling you that is all he is worth.

Again, the market is telling you Benning was offered a 2nd round pick unless you think Trevor Linden is lying.

 

[a Fool]

You know I was feeling down about this deal earlier, but the 7th rounder we got back is a nice silver lining.

 

[tc 23]

Obviously he's not Carey Price. If he was, he'd be returning a top-5 pick. If the market's only offering a 3rd round pick for Lack (which it wasn't - Linden said they were offered a 2nd), then why trade him?
