Devils fans won't like what we'd want for Demko. Thanks for the interest, but Vancouver is utterly disinterested.
the bait - devils fan should ignore.
devils no trade list for third party fans:
hischier
j.hughes
l.hughes
nemec
if im vancouver l. hughes would have to be part of the trade
I bet they would, and then they'd be reminded that goalies are never traded for young players of Nemec's ilk.I think Canucks would ask for Nemec.

and yes, I realize VAN doesnt have to trade Demko, but lets be realistic here.
Then the Devils would be reminded goalies of Demko's caliber are never traded period. This is all moot point, because we have 0 interest in moving Demko.
a trade like that literally happened between the two teams we're discussing lol and Schneider had much better career numbers at the time he was traded than Demko does.
but anyways, I agree with your overall point.
Haven't you learned about trading top 10 picks for a vancouver goalie who seems to have injury issues?Clearly it is now the Silovs era in Vancouver.
So will a 1st round pick 10 straight swap be enough for Demko?
Because Vancouver bungled it in keeping Luongo who they had to trade the following year. Everyone was shocked that Schneider got traded instead of LuongoI get the Canucks play when it's late at night on the East Coast, but you can't be serious. Demko literally just got nominated for the Vezina, while Schneider had never been handed over the reins as a #1 goalie full time at the time of the deal - not even remotely similar situations, but okay.
Again, it's a pointless discussion because he isn't available in the first place.
lolcanucks no trade list for third party fans:
demko
pettersson
q.hughes
moot point - this thread is useless because Demko is not available, and if he were, you're not getting a Vezina caliber goalie for peanuts lol
Schneider was a top 2 or 3 goalie in hockey from 2010-2016.Haven't you learned about trading top 10 picks for a vancouver goalie who seems to have injury issues?
Of course you would! You might get the 24 1st and that's it. Gladly pass otherwiseI'd do it for this years 1st, Casey Seamus, and Holtz. Only if we can snag Ullmark or Markstrom from their respective teams.
I mean yea that makes sense, for the Canucks we would only be willing to trade a vezina calibre goalie if the price is right, and that is demkos value. Honestly from the devils predictive it isn't much, the first is the most valuable piece, Casey is you 3rd best defensive prospect behind Hughes and Nemec and Holtz is looking like a middle six player.Of course you would!

I get the price being right for sure. Casey was the best defender in the ncaa this year. Nemec and Hughes are not prospects, probably puts Casey at 1. He will replace Marino most probably (or play wing!) Holtz has been buried and still producing to spite what coaches and mngmnt does. Demko for the 24 1st is about as high as Fitz should go. Want a small add sure.I mean yea that makes sense, for the Canucks we would only be willing to trade a vezina calibre goalie if the price is right, and that is demkos value.

For Demko that is a pretty fair deal. Although if im the devils id rather just get Markstrom or Ullmark since those teams essentially need to give away a goalie.
I guess in technicality Hughes and Nemec are Graduated but me personally if you are still on the 1st or 2nd year of your ELC you are essentially a prospect to me. That being said Casey is obviously a quality dman but in terms of the team depth chart he is behind Nemec and at this point Hamilton as well. Replacing a 3D is relatively easy compared to getting a number goalie that is vezina level consistently.I get the price being right for sure. Casey was the best defender in the ncaa this year.

Won't be more than a 1st, but I just don't see it happening anywayI guess in technicality Hughes and Nemec are Graduated but me personally if you are still on the 1st or 2nd year of your ELC you are essentially a prospect to me.

As for Holtz he is doing okay but he will never truly flourish in New Jersey as they don't give him the minutes.
so again relative to the devils giving up Casey and Holtz alongside the first would easily be worth it in the long run for the devils. They haven't had a goalie like Demko since Schneider and you put a goalie like Demko on the devils today or a devils team that is mostly healthy they are a cup contender.
If anyone should be jumping at this trade it should be the devils. That being said they're goalies close to demkos calibre available so the Devils should just go after Ullmark, Markstorm, or take a wildcard swing at Spencer Knight.
this is the official invitation for all trolls to join the discussion. i am out.Demko and Hronek for J and L Hughes,
no tradesy backsy.
