Patel Bure Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 [proposal] Sign or trade for Jason Demers or Mark Pysyk 1) Sign Demers to league minimum or a “show me what you can do” type deal. OR 2) Make a trade with Buffalo for Mark Pysyk (6th rounder?.....I don’t know what it would take). I know some of you believe that a Luke Schenn or a Madison Bowey should be good enough to fill in for the MIA Hamonic, but I disagree. Both Bowey and Schenn are 7th calibre dmen and shouldn’t be anywhere near Hughes or OEL. “Well why not just put Myers with Hughes or OEL? (while Poolman pairs up with the other guy). Because - Myers is an offensive defensemen himself and so putting him with one of OEL or Hughes would come with significant risks as well. ”Well, why not just wait a few weeks or a month for Hamonic to just come back?” Because - we are only assuming that if could take longer than a few weeks or a month. In actuality, it might be longer than that. Given the way our season went last season, and given the suspicious right side D depth even with Hamonic in the line-up, the Canucks absolutely CANNOT afford to stumble out of the gate like they did last season. I cannot stress this enough. Now, out of Demers and Pysyk, my vote would go for Pysyk. Why? Because - I am of the belief that the 33 year old Demers is washed up. He looked horrible with OEL last year and looked like a shell. While Pysyk isn’t a long term solution, I do think he’d be an upgrade over both Schenn and Bowey. Edit - As I was about it not hit the ‘submit’ button on this post, I realized that I completely forgot about Jeremy Lauzon. Go after this guy. &^@# Demers and &^@# Pysyk. What an unexpected conclusion to my post. :-o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Id prefer Pysyk, and I think he can play both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hero11 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Not sure why you even mention Demers if you think he is washed up. Might as well just say bring back Sopel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm, Sopes is only 44 now. Can we convince him to come out of retirement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I've wanted Psysk for years, he is the perfect depth player. Right handed shot, plays forward and defense. Nothing fancy but he is solid in his limited ice time. As for Jason Demers the season before last he was still a big minute 2nd-pairing dman who did quite well in the role. His offence has fallen off of a cliff but he still seems to be a reasonably dependable, capable player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be willing to take a flier on Demers but am interested to know why he performed so poorly last season. Pysyk must have had a sub par year last season as well since he only signed a 700K deal for this season, but his age (29) lends me to believe that he can still get his game back.
