The comparison is very relevant, but you seem to have a bias against Lack. It is pretty well documented that they changed his playing style in Carolina and it hurt his performance. Whether or not you 'buy' that doesn't really change that fact. And his performance improved substantially during the latter part of last season, as he moved away from the style.

But what's the point in bringing Raanta into the debate? I didn't mention him and I don't understand what he has to do whether Lack is a capable goalie.
I don't have a "bias" against Lack. I just don't believe he's very good and I don't really believe in blaming coaching for a goalie's performance. There are no "facts" that support coaching was the reason for his play but it's an OK theory. We'll see if the Flames accomplished goalie whisperer can turn him around.
