btw with social media and stalking twitter accounts, this is all getting uncomfortable and the fact that that rectangle guy chirped thatcher over twitter is pretty weird. I say he all leave the kid alone.
-
His parents just saw him last weekend, maybe they are visiting him again to help him pack up and leave for Utica.
-
it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that whatever could go wrong for the canucks will.
-
yeah but he just saw him
-
if he doesn't sign tomorrow, I hope we all find out what "tomorrow,"actually refers to.
-
if i was demko, thats what I would do, burn a year of elc right away, get a feel for the A, see the pace so he knows what to train for over the summer and be way ahead of the game come next fall. that would be best for his development as an athlete.
-
the Brenton Demko count down continues: he tweeted "tomorrow" what does it mean? count down to anaheim's first game? count down until Thatcher "the franchise" signs? count down until finally, after all these years, shane o'brine agrees to a mayo - eating contest against Phil "turtleneck sweater" Kessel, coach Hitchcock, kyle bellwood, martin "Let-go-my-eggo" Brodeur and Dustin "human eclipse rhinoceros hips" Byfuglien????? When will u do this for us shane? there is no way demko signs tomorrow - it would be just too good to be true - canuck goalie not caught in a controversy??? You have to go back to 1994 -1995 to when there was no goalie drama in vancouver. Sigh.

brenton demo follows pretty much all the canucks reporters on twitter and all the canucks news twitter accounts, I don't see much anaheim ducks stuff on there, so not sure what you guys are talking about "his family" being big into the ducks. Looks like he is just big into his kid and his kids friends who play hockey - which is pretty freakin normal/awesome to have a dad like that - here is an idea lets shut this stupid thread down and just leave the dad and thatcher alone until he makes his decision for himself.
-
i don't care what the F the count down is for, but he said he would sign within 2 weeks, so I hop ehe just signs soon and we can get this all over with.
-
a little cryptic just to be referencing that start of the ducks playoffs.
-
agree, trade him to edmonton along with mccain and Hansen for their first
-
sign me up, I like either warm milk and cookies or a good hand to inner thigh while you whisper in my ear "everything will be ok" alsop, nothing like a good ear lobe rub. ps. Phil kessel wears turtle neck sweaters and listens to Jewel while he puts on lipstick in the mirror.

pretty concerned about Demko not being all that ready to sign. he has known this was coming. This reminds me of all the past issues with goaltending that we have had, trying to sign Luongo, then that huge contract then trying to trade Luongo, but trading schneider for below market value, then trading Luongo for way way way below value then trading Lack for seemingly below value, rant rant rant if Edmonton gets 1st OA - offer them demo, Tanev, sbisa, McCann - thats a future franchise goalie, a top 2 dman and a top prospect, and an NHL d man who is better than most of their d men. That solves a lot of their problems. Edmonton would probably want the 1st round pick we get - that depends where we draft, if its 2nd - no way, if its 6th - I would do it, but get an asset back from Edmonton.

1. Do you think Mann is super duper happy here? JB just left his name of the list of the next "core" saying instead that "Mcann has a chance to be in the next core," but that "hrovat, Virtanen, Hutton and Demko," were the core going forward. 2.Go read the provies
-
if he does not sign with the canucks in the next few weeks, it will not be because he want to win an NCAA championship, get my drift? If JB Fs this up, he will get fired short of drafting Matthews and signing some big UFAs. The problem with this guy is he seems to not be able to imagine the worst scenario coming to fruition and he cannot keep things to himself. Don't tell the media you got all kinds of offers for Demko at the TD. Don't tell the whole world you are going to the Frozen four, because if you do not leave having signed Demko, then WTF were you there for? JB already looks stupid - he goes down there, meets with the kid and is told "I need more time" If Demko goes to free agency JB will look so stupid for not having traded him. JB has just let 29 other teams know that Demko may not want Vancouver, which will only put more pressure on JB and take him out of the driver seat if he needs to trade him. damn.
-
well he won't be leaving with demo signed. classic JB. I bet demkogoes to free agency. they have to close that loop hole.
-
they met at 9am PT today, so if there is news, we should hear soon.
-
it would be a big weekend if JB leaves Tampa with Demko, Boesser, stretcher, caggiula. One thing that concerns me about JB, TL and WD, is that often contradict themselves, they say things and make statements predicting the future and then they go back on their word within months. They mind as well keep their predictions to themselves. ex: - when they acquired vey - JB said at the draft they he would be a 2C in 2015 0r 2016 seasons ex: JB stated they would have a 100 point season and now he says they knew they would 'take a step back this year' on team 1040 today ex: they said Boeser would return to UND next year and now they are pretty overt in considering signing him. this just makes them look stupid as if they do not know what they are doing. Less prediction, keep it to themselves.

thats just speculation Sutter has trouble with the English Language
-
a lot of poor asset management from corrode to vey and so on. We have accumulated 2 tiers of young players. 1.3-4th line tweeners - virtanen, vey, mccain, etem, gaunce, grenier, granlund. This is where a lot of these guys are now. The problem is a bunch of these guys are RFAs, so virtanen and mean can go to the A next year and come up and down, but vey, etem, granlund, grenier are all RFAs. 2.AHL-NHL tweeners - pedan, grenier, Larsen and there will probably be more this offseason.
-
As good as tryamkin has been, pecan has struggled mightily. Has trouble with positioning, skating, puck movement and decision making. He still could develop into a tough 6-7 d man but at this point he is more of a number 8.
-
and that penalty really was just to keep things from boiling over, nothing dirty about his hit.
-
I agree, I really get the feeling the canucks are very quietly thrilled about him, he does have the makings of a franchise d man. If they came out and said that, people would laugh at them and point to the sample size, the kid would feel a lot of pressure and the organization would get laughed at for trumpeting a 3rd round pick with less than 10 games nil experience. I he is an absolute giant out there and crunching guys looks so easy for him. A really great pick by JB. My only concern is that if we do not sign a top 4 d man in the offseason he will be stuck playing with a crap d man like sibs when, if paired correctly, him and hutton could become absolute studs. I would love to see us resign Dan hamhuis and he can play on the left of tryamkin seeing as tryamkin seems so comfortable on the right. we then need a right shot guy like demers to play in the 4 spot beside Hutton. edler Tanev Hutton Demers Hamhuis Tryamkin trade sibs for whatever you can get ? 2nd
-
wow 1996-2005 a lot of no name players, really speaks to where our franchise was , a rotating door of useless players.
-
McCann will be in the ahl next year and play top 6, PP and PK, the kid just needs to play lots of minutes, he will be a good nhler vey should get a 2 way contract Granlund will be 4C
