Hopefully (for them) Markstrom can do something for them this year, otherwise they'll have to go back to the drawing board.
Also, Demko is likely not going to be the saviour and the Canucks will need another couple in the pipeline soon. That's why the Flames got all three of MacDonald, Gillies and Ortio. You need 3 or 4 good prospects in hopes that one can become something good. Having only 1 is too big a risk.

Disagree, their team cracked under pressure, not Lack. Flames were crashing and banging. Playing close to/in the crease every chance they got and nothing was done about it. He's a starting goaltender, I'm glad they chose Miller over him.
