  1. If Edmonton called Allvin to trade a 1st for Demko, would you do it?

      If the question is whether we would do that this summer, then no.  The loss of Demko would create a massive hole at the goalie position for the Canucks while simultaneously bolstering the ranks of a divisional rival (as already pointed out).

       

      Goalies haven't really traded for excessive value in recent years, so even if a late 1st was the "market rate" for Demko, the loss in value to the Canucks would presumably not be worth the trade.  The only way I could see it being possible is if Demko was in the last year of his contract and the Canucks had a goaltender who looks poised to become the #1.  Martin has been good, but can he do that over 30, 40, or 50 games in a season?  He's not exactly a young prospect either.  Jury is still way out on DiPietro, Silovs and Koskenvuo.  Demko's contract isn't even that problematic at $5M AAV.

       

      I personally don't mind watching the Oilers suffer with poor goaltending and poor defense.  Unless there is excess value coming back to the Canucks and they have a solution to the hole that losing Demko would create, I don't see this ever happening.
