Treliving bought low on Lack, partly because we have two goalies in the AHL who could be close to making the jump. Between the three of them, I think somebody will step up. Unfortunately, so far Lack has not.
The bigger mistake would have been to not get anyone, or to give up significant assets/cap space for someone who might only play 10-15 games. I think Lack was a good fit (both as insurance for Smith and the possibility of a bounce-back season) -- he just needs to play a little better (as do the guys in front of him).
