Should solidify Vancouver in the 9th/10th spot in the west for a couple of years.

Isn't Luongo to Miller kind of a downgrade, or at the bare minimum just a shift sideways? I don't see much improvement between the two at this point in their careers.

Not bad.

Was hoping they would give him a crazy contract but it keeps them away from McDavid so I'm happy.

Not shocked. Lack isn't a starter (yet, at least).

Luongo is better, but not by a lot. This will probably at least give them flexibility to deal with the rest of the roster. Luongo's contract was just too much for too long to really allow for a cup winning roster.

Don't get this for a rebuilding team.

Do they want to be just outside the playoffs?

Yes. I like the Stastny signing, the Ehrhoff one is a steal, I like the Gilbert signing, Fayne is a bit of a risk but still quite good. I've liked a lot today.

If this is a long term deal it's a bad move.

EDIT: 6M is too much and 3 years slightly too long but I guess it could have been worse. Still a poor signing, not a catastrophe.

Awesome. Was starting to get worried that they were going to be in the mcdavid derby. No chance of winning the cup, just enough to get them into the 10-20th range

Last team he started a season for finished 30th so I wouldn't count them out yet. He's not that great.

Ryan Kesler 2.0 when it comes to whining and then wanting out...

Makes sense from Miller's perspective.

All we need now is for Eddie "top 20 starter" Lack to demand a trade to keep Vancouver's goalie farce going.

I don't believe he has been worth that dollar figure for a couple years now.

Makes me happy.

I have no problem with this. Its still a downgrade on either Luongo or Schnieder.

2.47 GAA - 0.903 SV% -- 10-8-1 record in 19 games with the Blues.

$6.25M for 3 years? Awesome.
