Value of: Demko Trade Value

[Canucks LB]

honest question:

Elite goalie coming off back to back injury seasons.

Contract still decent, signed next year for 5m.

Goalie market seems really light, what do you all think he can get in a trade?

 

[MMC]

A mid-late round pick

 

[Quinning]

I wouldn't expect much at all.

 

[Three On Zero]

2nd/3rd round pick and MAYBE a B/C level prospect for the contract slot. Injury history is a buyer beware at this point.

 

[Fatass]

Imo Demko has less little to no trade value. Van will play him next year (his UFA season) and hope he can stay healthy. Then, if he can prove he can stay healthy, they might consider trading him. But considering their owner, it’s more likely (even if he’s healthy and back to Vézina level) that owner allows a trade.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'm too lazy to look, but were they different, or the same injury ?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Literally nothing

 

[HugeInTheShire]

His value is at an all time low, so I think he stays a Canuck at least until he proves he can stay healthy.

 

[HockeyVirus]

He's Matt Murray without the cups

Different, but the concerning injury is the one that allegedly can't be repaired through surgery and he will need to "live" with.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is dealing with a rare and unique knee injury The injury is affecting his availability, and it is related to a problem with the popliteus muscle

Demko is good when healthy, so that gives me concern.

Like, I would think it's Demko for a lesser goalie, maybe something with Demko depending on the cap of the returning goalie.

Or a team with a backup spot, or like a 1B spot available and take the risk and send a player who is an NHLer, but he's overpaid type return.

Probably better to just go again with him

A can of spinach ought to do the trick

Vancouver doesn't have much choice; they need him next season. Lankinen is NOT a #1 and can't handle the load of a #1. the knee jerk reaction to sign him to such a high contract is baffling

 

[Jacob]

Probably gonna have to do a swap for a similar contract.

 

[JKG33]

I want to preface this by saying I think he does return to being an elite top 5 goalie in this league. But for how long before hes injured again?

He'd definitely get claimed on waivers, but he doesn't have much trade value. Probably the kind of middling picks that are always traded

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

The majority of teams would have zero interest, as he can't be trusted and is paid 5m in cap. A team like San Jose would take a flyer on him to pair with Askarov for possibly a 5th rounder and try and repair his value for a trade.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

Tristan Jarry, 1-for-1.

 

[Coffee]

2nd round pick ? If we are lucky. Absolute stone cold killer when he's healthy, but his injury luck has tanked his value.

Literally nothing

What if we pay you bro ?

Talking about a healthy Demko feels like talking about the sasquash...

And you're Mr Bean without the balls

Never was a Mr. Bean fan so don't get the reference. I'll choose to take it as a compliment

Love Demko, one of my favourite hockey players. Top five goalie in NHL if he was not injured. He’ll easily fletch a first round pick if they trade him in off-season.

Don't see it. He also wants $7 or $8 million per which would be a mistake. He's only good for 25-30 games a season now
