I love it how Reimer's a bust but Lindback's a "future elite #1".

Its your people calling for a new goalie. Lindback has had a lil more seasoning to.

He's played half as many games, Reimer had a concussion last year (ask Miller how that works out), and they have very similar stats; oh and, the Leafs are a terrible team; NASH, not so much.

No they are just a couple of career backups.

That's a hefty price for a backup, wouldn't you think?

Lindback had a rough go this yr. he played like a game a month. He didnt get alot of starts. I wasnt saying one is better than the other. though i do think one is.

- gravyface

well its going from 2 extremes with lindback

either he is a very good backup to an average starter all the way to he will be an elite #1 goalie

and then you have people saying the trade was overpayment, to its an ok deal to tampa fans saying its an absolute steal

People saying this is an overpayment are wrong. This is a long term deal. If Lindback ends up playing like a number 1, this deal could end up being a steal.

Or you could just be a moron as usual.

great deal by Tampa, this guys a goalie to build around, hes a future star forsure.

LOL. That is the first time a canucks fan has ever made me laugh

Laugh it up, Scooby snack, but I fail to see why Lundback's "a future star" anymore so than Reimer is.

Hot rumour on Vancouver radio is Mike Gillis has a multi-player deal in place with the Blue Jackets which has Nash coming back to the Canucks but Luongo has not agreed to join the BJs yet and may not agree to do so.

Too bad luongo is coming to the leafs for komisarek

That's a hefty price for a backup, wouldn't you think?
- gravyface

I know! Just imagine what an all star bonified #1 starter would go for.

Not according to Don Taylor. Chicago is the other team in contention but Gillis doesn't want to take back Corey Crawford in the trade. Burkie apparently is out of the running.

How many starts does this guy have?

I am excited about his potential. He's young, talented and motivated. Yes he was 5-8 this season, but even more important is the 2.42 and .912 attached to that.

It's interesting that Stevie Y goes after a 2nd straight big goalie when he never played in front of one with that same style. Garon's not good enough to be a 1A or 1B so they need to do something else.

Maybe he still has Mike Smith on the brain.

Probably a lot!

Unless of course they carried a massive contract and had a bad reputation in the playoffs. Then they'd probably fetch a lot less than that fanbase would like.

I want winners, not losers.

dude, you were a couple couple losses from missing the playoffs completely. nobody likes sore losers but sore winners are worse.

parise is a mega star. of course you'd want him on your team. there's zero chance he signs with the team that beat him and took away his dream. he's not hossa. he's north american.

Two wins from winning the division.

yes you won. good for your team. only the 2nd ever in the PST to do it.

let's be honest. obviously you'd want parise. I can see you saying you don't want radulov or semin (I won't judge) but zach would be the favorite player almost overnight.

But... before we were winners.. we were kinda loser's.. we sure lost a lot.
