The Listening Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I find this sudden expediting of Demko to the big club a bit odd. Like, all of a sudden in the last two days, management decided it's time to bring him up. I'm all for it, just the timing is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the game against the Devils was Nilsson's last chance to prove his worth and unfortunately he crapped the bed causing this series of events.

They probably planned on bringing Demko up in the New Year since training camp. The plan may have been derailed a bit by the concussion, but I guess they thought to get the plan back on track. It will be great for Demko to work with Clark. He's had a fantastic influence on Marky. I hope Green is willing to play Demko at least once a week though. No sense in bringing up Demko to let him go stagnant on the bench like a veteran back-up, the kid is a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I am glad they are giving him an opportunity but maybe wait until they're back home and give TD time to work with Ian Clark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McK gets claimed is Demko able to be in Mtl by game time to back up tonight? Has Demko even been recalled officially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard them discuss this on the radio the other day and apparently you can play if on waivers just that teams don't like to do it as it is unfair to the player.

Demko hasn't been recalled officially yet, but he will join the team tomorrow in Toronto. We will also find out tomorrow morning whether McKenna was claimed or not. Hence, McKenna will be the backup tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda figured going into the season that we'd see Demko sooner than later. I didn't think we'd see him till March though. I think this was sped up a bit by a combination of Thatcher playing lights out in Utica and Nilsson failing to establish himself as a reliable back up.

You're nitpicking.. they'd have to send him down, or waive Nilsson in order to claim McKenna, which would be incredibly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does any of this make it seem like they are expediting the process? Obviously as soon as a trade is made for an AHL goalie, they would bring up Demko shortly after..

BillfromVan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I am not always in the know but in emergency situations can they not bring Mike D up. I mean just temporarily till all transactions are finalized. What a pat on the back that would be to see MikeTendy on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, all of a sudden in the last two days, management decided it's time to bring him up. I'm all for it, just the timing is weird. I think it's because Ottawa called (or we called them asking if they're interested considering their situation) and it started the ball rolling. I think the Canucks were likely to try to move Nillson by the trade deadline anyway, but just found a taker earlier on. Better to be proactive because maybe there are no teams in need of a goalie by TDL (contenders are generally set, tankers won't need him and the middle pack likely will not want to give up assets for a backup goalie at this point) and we have to go through the awkwardness of waiving him.
