Lack has a higher save percentage than Miller, and hey'll likely call up Jacob Markstrom, who currently has a sub-2.0 GAA and .932 save percentage in the AHL. So on paper this doesn't look like a huge loss... but last year, they went with the same tandem down the stretch and Lack couldn't handle the workload (possibly because of fatigue given that he started 100% of the games). If that history repeats itself, they're probably screwed.
What if it doesn't, though? Say Lack continues to play well about as well as Miller was, and Vancouver basically stays where they are in the standings and make the playoffs. Does this not demonstrate that signing Miller for 6 mil a year was a waste of much-needed cap space?
