I guess Benning got rid of a potential goalie controversy, has cleared the way for Demko, but only getting back a 6th round pick for Nilsson, who won Gold with Sweden? I know he struggled lately, but I think OTT won this trade. Great that Demko is now a Canuck though, excited to see him play.  

The Senators are no team Sweden, so I don't think Nilsson is taking them to the promised land. Even if Nilsson was remotely successful with Ottawa (which would bump Colorado's chances of boosting their team, which would be a bigger concern for us as a Western opponent), he was going to be gone by the end of the year as Demko will find a way here one way or another, so any pick back for a guy we signed for free anyway is a win (and especially for a backup that costs 2.5 million with the numbers he was putting up this year).

Great another young player that I like, inserted into the lineup to have liberties taken with as the careless Canucks stand by.

Oh yeah, I'm dreading when opponents crash Demko in net hard, while Canucks players stand around dumbfounded. Can't wait until Woo makes he team. He looks like he'd be willing to protect his team mates.

Philly claimed McKenna? Well, that kind of backfired Jimmy. So, Benning traded Nilsson and Archibald for Pyatt (AHL) and a 6th rounder? Yikes.

With Philly carrying 5 goalies, I don't see a scenario where we don't get McKenna back from waivers. They have Stolarz and Elliot on IR and Neuvirth is day to day so when they get one of those guys back I imagine McKenna gets waived.

 

Go Demko!

And so it begins.

 

i wonder what the game spit between the goalies will be. Demko every 3rd game maybe?

They going to throw him into game action immediately vs 2nd best team in the standings and 3rd highest scoring team in the league or......?

Let him work with Ian Clark for a bit first hopefully
