How did I ever notice until tonight that Jaccob Slavic spells his name with two c’s

I thought ESPN messed up the graphic

Wow, glad he won big like that.

I'm not entirely sure he can live up to it, mind you, since I thought he was mostly just "passable" as a BUG for us, and is probably playing a little over his head this season, but he certainly picked the right time to do it.

It'll be interesting to see how the Cancuks play the rest of their goaltending situation. Demko can be as good as anyone in the league but is oft injured which also leads to a lot of inconsistency. Silovs has been garbage outside of us making him look good in that playoff series. I can see the rationale of overpaying a bit for Lankinen who worst case scenario should at least be a high end backup, but maybe can be a solid starter or part of a tandem. Anyways I always enjoy seeing someone betting on themselves and succeeding which seemed to be what Lankinen did this year.

 

[herzausstein]

Lankinen bet on himself and won. Keeping him and Saros here wasnt an option.

 

[PredsV82]

Holy shit. Good on Lanky for cashing in. No way we could have, would have or should have paid him that

That's one of those they are going to be looking to get rid of in two years.

Better two years than ours we want out of right f***ing now..

Oh I agree with that. Ours is worse cause its longer and another 3 million a season more for basically the same level of goalie at this point.

Everyday that goes by it becomes apparent just how bad Trotz screwed up by not trading Saros when he had the chance and just ran Lankinen and Askarov for a couple of years.
