I know it's not a creditable source, but if true where is a fit for Demko?

What the hell is going on in Vancouver?

This is according to a former NHL head coach:

Doug MacLean, to spoil who it is.

The Miller/EP thing is bad blood. Demko I am guessing is 100% about how he feels the team has been treating him with regards to this injury. Maybe they are trying to force him to play/not play.

Definitely sounds like a reprisal of the Tanner Pearson situation where the medical staff couldn't figure out what to do with him and his injuries just somehow never got better.

No need for a second thread.

Oilers should be in on demko. Great goalie

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Surprised that lad is already 29.

IF (very big if) this is true, probably has something to do with how the club handled previous goaltending coach Ian Clarke? Him and Demko were pretty tight, no?

I am just going to take this with a grain of salt.

“Vancouver doesn’t want to play in Vancouver anymore!”

I think we need to start talking location with this team.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

This kinda puts the Canucks in a tough situation where they would be selling low on multiple elite players.

 

[PuckG]

Sucks because with a healthy Demko, the Canucks are a dynasty by now…

Hate to see it all unravel in Vancouver.

Yard Barker has been popping up on my news feeds more and holy shit are they terrible.

The way things have been going for VAN, you might want to use that salt on the rim of a tall glass margarita

He was a good goalie.

This year he has been absolute shit after coming back from an injury that reportedly cannot be fixed and that he'd have to "Learn to play through".

So essentially, he's FUBAR.

RIP in pepperoni

Yard Barker has been popping up on my news feeds more and holy shit are they terrible.

Pretty sure all their articles are AI generated garbage

 

[Xirik]

how about Demko and Miller for a 2nd and Hämeenaho

seems fair.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

MacLean doesn't know anything.

 

[Justicebork]

We should turn this into a win-win-win and just move the franchise 3000 miles southeast to beautiful and historic New Orleans, LA. Canucks fans get to see their core remain intact, the players are overjoyed with the tax breaks and cultural benefits, and the league finally has a natural rival for Nashville!

Why do people always try to overcomplicate things when a simple solution is on the table?

All American players want to leave a Canadian city.

If I’m a Canadian club, I never draft a high end pick American.
