[Mr. Canucklehead]

There’s an extra goalie for camp.

This feels like an effort to get through the pre season without really pushing either Demko or Silovs a ton, IMO.

I’d expect to see Ferguson and Pitera get the bulk of pre season action.

I was pretty high on him after he was drafted. That faded quickly as he just never really got better after that

wtf, announcing this on a Sunday night?

Trying to slip it in there and go unnoticed lol

Definitely feels like Allvin wants to keep money available for a bigger add throughout the season than tying it up on a backup.

Which, hopefully, means they're confident Demko won't miss many games.

I was honestly advocating for Manny Legace or Vesa Toskala

This seems more like a warm body than anything else. 25-year old, former 7th round pick that's been unable to stick an AHL starting job.

Apparently the Canucks are "still in a dance" with Lankinen. So as I said above, I don't think this is much more than camp posturing/having a warm body to throw in net for main camp.

Great, now I'm just picturing Allvin hitting the dougie while watching Lankinen hit the whip and naenae in an epic dance battle.

Whatever the outcome for this, as a local boy it will still be a cool memory for Dylan to be able to put on the Canucks sweater and be part of the team, even if it only a moment or so.

Good luck Dylan!
