Eddie Lack did not have a good time as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Originally picked up for a third and sixth round pick, the Hurricanes had been hoping Lack would be an answer for their goaltending. And as a then-27-year-old coming off of a .921 save percentage season, he certainly had that potential.
It, of course, did not come to fruition, leading to the Flames picking him up for a sixth round pick and some relatively inconsequential contract swapping. It remains to be seen if he’ll be able to rebound in Calgary – if issues with Carolina’s goaltending coach, David Marcoux (formerly of Miikka Kiprusoff fame), are to be believed, then it’s entirely possible he will – but that’s not what this post is about.
