There are backups that are better than Lack.

He will surely know.

He's probably distracted today though. Don't know what he's been doing.

They didn't get rid of it fully, they're still paying part of it for the next 8 years.

This should really help calgary finish 3rd worst at least! lol Good for Lou to get out from under that organization, now the rest of them can rot in h*ll as far as I'm concerned!!!

Calgary/Edmonton/Philly/NYI/Buffalo/Carolina/Washington/Winnipeg/Colorado

so that puts him 21st currently, and he only has 25 starts so there is upside

Lack is better than Scrivens, Halak, Ward, Holtby, Pavelec, Montoya, Varlamov right now?

Goalies outside of the top 19 in save percentage: Bobrovski, Lundquist, Howard, Bernier, Miller, Smith, Thomas

Goalies outside of the top 19 in GAA: same

I'd take any of those guys over a goalie with less than 10 wins at the trade deadline.

So, Edler on the move now with Matthias onboard?

And on top of it, they'll pay a portion of Luongos salary for 8 years.

Plus about 8M in recapture penalties (or however that ends up working).

Quite a day with Luongo on move to FLA. Convinced this more related to fallout from non-start in Heritage than reason for the non-start.

Kesler deal and then maybe one of the D tomorrow could essentially save us what Flames fans went through from 2009-2013

With Kesler your forward depth is marginally better than the Flames and when you look at prospects base its not even close. Without Kessler you have the Sedins and nobody and I assume Gillis would get one quality NHL forward in return but man are you guys thin on offensive skill throughout the organization. You are probably bottoming out whether you choose to believe it or not.

[Senator Clay Davis]

So they basically trade Luongo and Schenider for 20 cents on the dollar, because of two goalie controversies they themselves created. And their fans wonder why they've never won anything? Please...

35% of salary retained? Lol!

EDIT: if true not so bad

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper 24s
15 percent is what I hear on what #Canucks will pick up on the Luongo to #Panthers deal.

Craig MacTavish @FakeOilersGM
Sigh. So much for making the boldest goalie trade of the day...

[LGA]

I hope Luongo retires early to nail Vancouver with a nice big recapture penalty.

Don't forget about Khudobin, who's been pretty good for Carolina and was good in relief for Boston last season.

I would take Scrivens/Fast over Lack/Markstrom

Yes... this will be a good chance for Lu to stick it to the Canucks one final time.

Estimated recapture penalties for 2021-22 if Longo retires in 2021: #Canucks $7.7M and #Panthers zero. (Per Capgeek)

I am going to split the difference on this one and say 25 percent.

What does Matthias have to do with Edler? He's a centre.
