Just wait until Lack has the weight of the team on his shoulders. And if Markstrom plays in front of Nuck fans the way he has been playing in Fla, Nuck fans will crucify him.

It's an interesting dynamic. Of those four, I would rank Lack as the best, but Markstrom as the worst, and by a fair margin. Hell, I'd take Berra over Markstrom (and obviously that places Ramo well above him too). It's pretty amazing to see just how little Gillis turned Schneider and Luongo into, even accounting for the fact that goalies don't get the same prices.
What is really interesting about this is how it affects Kesler's trade. Gillis shot for the moon on Luongo, and ended up crashing as badly as a North Korean rocket. Will he try the same with Kesler, or will he play it safer now and aim a little lower?
