That's not what Linden said.Dr. Tobias Funke wrote: I also heard Linden on the radio that Saturday morning acknowledging that they turned own a higher pick for Lack to get him out of the conference. Weird how that would be a concern when they're just dealing a backup, isn't it?
Linden said something about "perhaps" they could have eventually worked out a deal to get pick #57(?)
... but that in the end either way (57th or 66th) they would have taken Brisebois anyway, so hey no biggie.
For the sake of perspective, 16 goalies played 35+ games and ended up at .920 or better (Lack .921)Dr. Tobias Funke wrote: A backup who was 10th in the NHL in SV% among goalies with > 40 games played.
Quick and Bishop didn't make that cut, is Lack a better goalie than those two in your books?
Also, Lack was dead last in playoff SV% among goalies with > 1 game played.
Are you by any chance president of the Eddie Lack Fan Club?
They are not "real offers" until the potential trade partner finally says "We will trade ___ for Lack".Dr. Tobias Funke wrote: Benning also said that the Carolina offer was the only "real offer" they got - he must have a very specific definition of "real" - go back and listen to all his comments, he always qualifies that with "real" offer - essentially confirming that there were other offers they didn't consider to be "real".
Until that point they are merely talking about "perhaps" if blah-blah happens, or blah-blah does not.
Is any of this getting through.... Dr Funky Diaper?
