What other teams need a goalie? Edmonton and SJ (no thanks - divisional rivals). Chicago could be a player with both their goalies heading to UFA. I'd prefer sending Demko out east though. Perhaps Detroit? Jimmy Howard is a UFA..not sure who they plan on using as a starter? They could be a good target. What about Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risto would be great to have, and I’d do that fir Demko. Impossible though, because of JB’s bad contracts. Saw this on Reddit and had to post for you Alf! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be happy with that trade at all. He stepped up really well when Nylander held out. Wouldn't mind having him but don't think we got the roster spot.

coastal.view Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 i think how the nuck goalies situation is dealt with depends on which window you wish to look out of if you are looking out the window of the canucks making the playoffs this season and arming the team with the best combination of players for success they have to keep demko to ensure the goalkeeping position is solidly staffed for low salary cap numbers canucks have above average goalies with under average salary cap hit canucks need this tandem to get as deep into the playoffs as possible i think this is the most important window right now - so no trade of demko should/will happen this season if you are looking out the expansion draft window then moving a quality goalie asset for a lesser goalie who can be exposed for this draft could be good asset management on one level but, if the downgrade ensures seattle does not pick a goalie and it ensures they take another player, and the team is stuck with this lesser goalie it is then questionable about what or any asset management savings may have occurred it is a gamble, as seattle may decide they do not want demko even if he is exposed for the draft (and this assumes that he is still a nuck goalie as he needs to be re-signed before the draft - maybe he will refuse to if he knows he will be exposed) if you are looking out yet another window the consideration is whether the nucks in fact have 2 starting goalies and excess assets at this position which would ultimately result in too much salary being committed to this position and likely also unhappy goalies who may ultimately both want to be starters the team is not there yet and is likely 2 more seasons away from having this be an issue and it is only an issue if both goalies are re-signed - marky at season's end demko, who is a rfa, at the end of next season (but would he re-sign then if he knows he'll be exposed to the draft??) until both of these goalies are re-signed the team does not have an issue so those urging movement of one of them sooner then later are a bit premature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, possibly Washington (if they re-sign Holtby this season), Pittsburgh (if Jarry continues playing well and Murray is re-signed), Dallas (if Khudobin is re-signed and Seattle wants some vet experience), and Phoenix.

Tre Mac Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'll go as far as to say that the Markstrom injury will be a blessing in disguise when it's all said and done. My man Thatchy D is taking the reigns and that'll save some cap in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the question will be consistency. There's a reason he's at only a .906 save percentage. A consistent Demko would be huge for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, that's not what's expected of him currently. He may not be ready now, but give him some time and we'll see how he develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 As fans we need to rally around Demko. I know there’s still a couple road games left but to the fans that go to the home games, get loud for him. I said before he needs another year as a backup but he’ll get us some wins down the stretch guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not meant to be a starter we all know that, but he’s our best goalie with Marky out so rally behind him and let him grow without calling for his head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
