It’s crazy to think trading Horvat, Boeser, and Myers is gonna fix things. Like the issues with this team runs deeper than just their play on the ice. And I would say those players are all the nice guys on the team. What if we go into next season and we hear about the same rifts and divided room as this season? Then what? I just don’t see any way you don’t trade Miller. You can’t go half way with this. If he’s on the team next season and being pouty or “the alpha dog” in the locker room it’s too late to trade him anywhere. All of a sudden he has all the control with his NTC and we’re stuck making a bad deal. Its too big of risk to not completely tear the leadership group down. Especially if you want Pettersson to be the next captain. As long as Miller is here he will be the leader. And look where that got us this season…

[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Thatcher Demko

He’s healthy now. Better insurance policy than Copley. And it would be a move for the next four years not just this season. -

Kings blow a 4-1 lead in the third. Wonder how motivated they’re getting… -

That’s a good target. Kid looks like the next stud Finnish goalie. Former teammate of Raty’s as well. -

Not doubling down on anything. Most people don’t understand NCAA hockey and the likelihood of goalies coming out of each program though. Blue chip goalies are Wallstedt and Askarov, not Levi. -

It means that’s a weak program and not many NHL goalies come out of there. Its like when people thought Joe Cannata was gonna be an NHLer because of his college numbers. -

Northeastern? Definitely not blue chip. -

I’m literally quoting what that rumour was. They said their first isn’t included because we’re dumping Myers. Not saying that rumour is realistic but they’re claiming that we forgo a 1st to dump Myers. That’s crazy. -

Small project goalie. No thanks. We need a legit blue chip goalie or we need to start addressing our D and center depth. -

Columbus still have interest in Miller? -

Rather keep Myers and get their 1st. No way we should be continuing to pay to dump players that’s insanity. Demko for Durzi, Quick, Villardi, and a 2023 1st. -

Drance is also a contrarian too though. He only likes the deal cause most Canucks fans initially hate it. -

Farhan has made it very clear he has a vendetta against people in this organization. Everything he reports now is meant to stir the pot or create distrust. I lump him in with the likes of Drance. He’s an opportunist that starts spouting off when things are bad. I don’t think he deserves respect. Good CFL guy sure, horrible hockey sensationalist. -

Then they don’t get Demko. Theres no situation where we trade Demko and don’t get a goalie back. We’re not going with a Martin and Silovs tandem. -

I don’t think there’s any evidence of that. I think when the team looks at his age and with his surgeries they may not get a better chance to move him. And from his side he’s in his prime now. He sees the Horvat trade and wonders what this teams future is. Probably doesn’t wanna wait out a rebuild. -

Farnham Lalji, not that I would seriously use that hack as a source, claims that people “close to the situation” think Demko wants out. Friedman thinks that Buffalo is a good fit. If that’s the case it would have to be UPL and Ostlund coming back. -

Wouldn’t be surprised if they draft another goalie but that won’t allow them to trade Demko. That prospect would be 4 or 5 years away from even being a backup. Any trade would have to bring back a goalie farther along in their development. -

Only way we would be trading Demko is if we have a blue chip goalie like Wallstedt coming back That or we know we can sign the next big Russian goalie. -
Gotta wonder if they’re just planning on building a D core like they had in Pittsburgh. One high end guy in Letang, and then a bunch of decent but not great guys. Guys that don’t do any one thing really well but are just solid. I could see us going hard after NCAA D men, and then maybe trading for some undervalued type guys. Based on their moves to keep adding cap to the forwards I would say that’s the route they plan to go.
