This is dragging out so long, I am starting to think another team is poking around. I am prepared to be disappointed.

Too many recent stories about the ones that got away from us.

Maybe they're trying to get the Joe Nieuwendyk #25 banner down and can't find the really big ladder.

Markstrom’s the best goalie they’ve had since Kiprusoff.

Kippers 27-35sv %:

.933
.923
.917
.906
.903
.920
.906
.921

Markstrom, 26-30, since he became a regular.

.915
.912
.912
.918

Markstrom isn’t Kipper. Nobody is.

But he’s damn good, and he’s put up those numbers on a rebuilding Canucks squad.

We could’ve done worse - see the last six years.
Yeah but every time I see the Canucks play he gets peppered with shots from the outside...I dont know what the advanced stats say but that can inflate save %. Maybe someone on here can post his in depth save % for discussion purposes. He also has had hip and knee injuries. Didn't Schneider have tons of surgery and is finally healthy for the 1st time in years?

That is definitely it without anything else squeaking out now.

If there was another team it would be out there by now.

Kuemper, Fleury and Rask are all options if things fall through. Hope Tre doesn't go crazy

Always hate the ring argument...teams win rings. Murray would have zero rings if he was drafted by Vancouver so it's barely relevant. Likely Murray is dead last in the NHL this season even if he plays well.
