Don't they need a goaltender in the meantime to back up Martin with both Silovs and Delia being up? Abbotsford wants to compete, they need a viable backup. 

 

Could just be a stopgap measure. 

Yes, their current backup is on a PTO.  They need a back-up for Martin until things are sorted out in Van.

After looking at Bednard's track record that's honestly more of what it looks like 

 

Could be that they're shutting Demko down too, who knows 

 

But nothing about Bednard's age and track record screams anything more than stopgap

Also this ??

 

 

 

 

Gotta wonder where they're really at with Demko nowadays, with all the rumours of setbacks, the Canucks being tight lipped, and giving misleading injury timelines. 

 

Ever since Hughes being day to day turned into week to week back in like October I've been a bit skeptical regarding Canuck injuries and what we're told about them. The Pearson scenario only further cements that skepticism.

I don't know why the team is lying about stuff at this point.  They said Demko just left the ice because he was there early a couple of days ago... but reporters heard it was a setback.  He isn't practicing now, so clearly he isn't close.

Shut him down,as well as OEL and we have $20 million in LTIR space to grease the wheels on any trades we want.

This farm team move is just to have a body down there.

Not sure either, one thing this management seems to repeatedly do is underestimate what the fanbase knows. If something gets out we're going to find out about it and we're going to find out about it as soon as possible. This market is ravenous for hockey news, and it knows it's hockey pretty damn well on top of that. 

 

This ain't Pittsburgh where the Penguins aren't top of the heap and they can get away with misdirection and so on, management has a spotlight shining on them the way players here do.
