Nuxfanabroad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 to Philly: Markstrom Gaunce Gags Van: Matt Read Dale Weise St Loo 1st(or Philly, we'll take the lower 1st..being kind-hearted) any AHL/ECHL stiff to back up Demko (I think cap AAV is about even) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Will be interesting to see what happens with Nilsson. I don't see how the Canucks can move him without getting another minor league goalie at worst in return. Maybe a 4th round pick and a minor league back up is realistic?

Canuck Drogo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My favourite part of that article: “If Neuvirth's injury is serious, it puts the Flyers at the top of the list of teams searching for a goaltender before the deadline, since Brian Elliott (lower body) will be out until late March.” We’ll have to wait and see how Neuvirth is. But if it is serious then I’m all for making a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really strongly do believe Nilsson would be a better goalie partner with Demko. Markstrom is arrogant borderline cocky and thinks he deserves the world. I dislike him especially the way he appears to be with Nilsson. Nilsson is super calm, patient, waits for his opportunities. he would be far better suited to play with Demko. Do you really want an angry or resentful Markstrom sabotaging Nilsson? Markstrom wants to be the man yet cannot be the man. He is not going to be impressed when a young 22 yr old Demko shows up and tries to steal his spot. The fans will be cheering for Demko and Markstrom will hate it here.

Provost Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Freeing up cap space next year by moving Nilsson (or Markstrom) seems wise since we eventually have to bring Demko up. I don't think there is much of a return, even with him playing OK lately. Playing Demko this year has pro's and con's. He needs to get some NHL starts in order to see how ready he is and what he has to work on. On the other hand, you don't want him getting destroyed game after game. I guess as our back up you can protect him and give him more sporadic starts with lots of technical practice between to sharpen him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko should play the entire year in Utica for the playoffs and be given a chance for Canucks backup next year. Trade Nilsson or Markstrom doesn't matter to me but agree with what your saying for who to bring up to replace one of them. Demko shouldn't be called up and should finish the year with Utica, and I think that's what management wants to do with him anyways, just hope they do go through with that if they do decide to trade one.

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Bachman can cover the last month, backing up with Canucks, no prob(like last yr). Just need a farm-hand to help Demko in Utica..easy to scrounge up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Eddie Lack got a late 3rd and a 7th. He was playing better than Nilsson. Best case scenario for Nilsson is a 4th or 5th imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The trick here is to take back some of Philly's crap-performing, cap-hit(like Matt Read, expiring contract on their farm). Somehow get one of their 1st's.(they have two) Then a 1st, in a separate Tanev pkg NIRVANA is a young, ascending, gritty team with THREE 2018 1st's for JB's pleasure.

48MPHSlapShot Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Go for it. Get whatever you can for him and call up Bachman to backup Marky for the rest of the season. Hell, give Demko a couple of games too. Contrary to popular opinion, a couple of games in the NHL isn't going to completely destroy Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting their hopes up just fuels more whining and complaining when the Canucks don't go into the next draft with 20+ picks. please elaborate? I wouldn't think of that term to describe any of Jim's moves. I thought that crowd thought Jim was too quick to make moves? I'm confused now.

Hairy Kneel Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think things are tightening up in the playoff races. St Louis/Min/Wpg/Ana/ SanJ/ Dallas/Toronto Now is the time to trade in assets for picks. A goalie might be one of our strengths going in with Philly (or another bubble team).

Alflives Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The Flyers will want a goalie on an expiring contract. I think that rules out both of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 There's quite a few Goalies on expiring contracts which would be a much better option for Philly unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I’m hoping some team is desperate enough to throw a 3rd at Benning for Nilsson but realistically good value would be a 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 ***Breaking news?*** Seems Avs are down to only 4 D-men, 3rd p vs the Coilers. What would they PAY$$$ for Hen Button, about now??? :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
