if we don't sign Demko Benning should get fired.  Always his supporter, unable to trade Dan hamhius, simple as that, unable to sign a prospect???  cmon.

why are you getting worked up like a failure has already taken place?

What are you on about?

Demko hasn't even finished his college season yet - still playing in the frozen four.

A UFA NCAA goalie stepping right into the NHL?

 

When was the last time that happened?

 

Always hype and impatience...just like Matt O'Connor. 

I was waiting for someone to mention this.

 

How is Matt O'Connor doing now days?

I'd be a little wary reading Lyon's numbers compared to Demko's. 

 

Yale plays a very different system than BC, desire BC being an excellent team, and Lyon faces much less and lower quality shots than Demko. 

 

 

To that point, Michael Garteig looks like a stronger option than Lyon.  And Garteig is a proven performer, being a big part of one of the best teams in the NCAA.

Over on HFboards a poster said that Kevin Weekes reported that the Canucks are in on goalie Michael Garteig from Quinnipiac University. Haven't been able to find the source though so can't confirm it.

 

B.C born goalie.

Shouldn't need much of a source. He's a former invitee to our development camps and the club has been keeping in touch with him ever since. 

 

EDIT: but I suppose a pretty good source is Kevin Woodley of InGoal magazine and NHL.com. He's been tweeting recently that the Canucks are interested in Garteig.

 

So it's a pretty safe bet the Canucks will be "in on" any list of NHL teams potentially signing Garteig.

 

Same goes for another 2014 development camp invitee, BC boy, and former Penticton Vee:
