Really? Lack has 25 games and a .924 save percentage.
Calgary: I'll give you that one over Ramo due to age.
Edmonton: Fasth and Scrivens have proven just as much as Lack. (Fasth: 30 games .915, Scrivens: 58 games .921)
Philly: Mason has been fine this year and has just as much upside as Lack (4 months younger)
NYI: Yes
Buffalo: Jonas Enroth- at worst equal to lack. Same age but has played 76 games with a .912 save percentage.
Carolina: Cam Ward is still better then Lack. And Khudobin has played 43 NHL games with a .930 save percentage. Once again at least equal to Lack.
Washington: Same as other teams. Neuvirth is same age as Lack but has 134 NHL games and a .910 save percentage. Holtby is younger and has 96 NHL starts with a .918 save percentage. Grubauer has played only 18 NHL games but has a .925 save percentage. So at worst Grubauer is identical to Lack.
Winnipeg: Yes
Colorado: On what planet is Lack better then Varlamov, when Varlamov is younger and has 195 games of NHL experience with a .915 save percentage.
So Calgary, Winnipeg, and NYI. That's it. All the other teams have goalies the same age, or younger than Lack that have been just as good in the NHL but have more experience.
