Don't Be Hitting The Panic Button, Just Yet

There are legitimate reasons for concern in life. Thus far in life I have been exceptionally fortunate with health, and all the other things that sports ultimately take a backseat to. Currently my biggest concerns are the state of my fantasy football team, the ongoing developments in the NHL lockout, and what I'm having for lunch - in no particular order.
One thing that neither you nor I should be worried about though, is the 0-3 start to the season for the Vancouver Giants. At least not quite just yet. Despite what their record indicates, they have given us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

Talking 'Tenders With The Goalie Guild's Justin Goldman

I have a fun little challenge for you - try discussing the Vancouver Canucks with someone, without the conversation eventually shifting over to the team's goaltending situation. You can't. It's by no fault of your own. It's the juiciest topic surrounding the team.
The Canucks currently have $9.33 million in cap space invested between the pipes, which puts them at the top of the league (technically the Bruins have $9.375 million devoted, but Tim Thomas' days as a Bruin are over). Sure, it's great having the best tandem in the league. But at that price it's more a case of poor asset management than anything else.
You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes - or even David Caruso for that matter - to figure out that it's not a matter of if, but rather when a deal is made. It's the one last trump card Mike Gillis has in his hand. The specifics of how he chooses to play it make all the difference in the world. And that's why people will continue to talk about it, until it's resolved.
With that in mind, I decided it was time to pick the great mind of Justin Goldman, from The Goalie Guild, in an attempt to make sense of the situation and get some answers. It turns out that he's familiar with the goaltending position.
