Speculation: Dhaliwal: Canucks looking for veteran goalie as Demko remains injured.

[Treb]

Absolutely... 1 more season of bus rides in the AHL and he'll ask the same as Askarov tne next.

How are those two situations even remotely similar apart from the fact they are both goalies?

Dobes doesn't have the pedigree or track record to make demands like these. He'll fight for a spot next year.

All that for the 5th round pick you'd get for Primeau.

Similar amount of games played in the AHL after next season. If Dobes performs as well as last one, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to claim the backup position in the NHL. I don't even see why he shouldn't be able to do so now, and we can waive Primeau or as I thought just trade him.

Yeah we wouldn't get much for Primeau, maybe we can turn that 5th into a 4th, but there I think he should definitely be marked as 'available'.

But as you just said it, that's after this season, not right now. You're taking unnecessary risk by trading Primeau now.

Risks that could disappear as early as December as we see what Dobes and Hughes can do under Vincent.

Hell, I'd even be down to start shopping Primeau during camp if Dobes outplays him badly. It's just needlessly reckless to trade him now for an insignificant return and too many unknowns.

Since we didn't win the Askarov trade, I agree.

You'll take this Vanacek and you'll like it.

 

[JianYang]

The amount of injuries are piling up to the point where you wonder how durable he can be.

Hopefully he can avoid the Carey Price trajectory.

 

[Isles72]

which of Rittich/Copley would LAK waive ?

 

[Peter Griffin]

which of Rittich/Copley would LAK waive ?

Whoever loses the #2 job in camp, probably more likely to be Copley based on past performance.

Demko is damaged goods now- Canucks are in major trouble

 

[Oilslick941611]

He's STILL injured? So those rumors about Demko possible being ready in the Edmonton series were just more ineffective waste of time mind games by Tocchet.

Worse than all the drama around tanev. We knew tanev was playing even if was he hobbled and not helping his team and was a giant liability on the ice.

Silovs didn’t well for them. I have no doubt he can step up for the start of the season as well

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

May Detroit interest you in a slightly used Husso?

Fellas…?

Husso @ 50% retention for Poolman and a 5th.

 

[BWJM]

This sucks. Another full year of “We played our fifth string goalie or we would have won the cup.”

I mean that's an actual excuse. What might the Oilers say?

"McDavid or Draisaitl were hurt and the whole rest of our team couldn't make up for it"

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Jack Campbell can be had for free.

 

[Nucker42]

Jack Campbell can be had for free.

Going to take a 1st to move him

 

[Malkinstheman]

Come on JR, you know you want Jarry

 

[bernmeister]

Money

He got a 3x3M deal with Dallas. We simply couldn't afford that for our backup goalie

The nuclear option here, where everybody gambles big....

Presuming a story at Yardbarker from this am which said they are not sure when/how long into the season it will be before Demko returns, in theory:

Rs wanna avoid possible 12m cap hit on Shesty [guessing it will be around 10.25 x 6-8 if he has similar yr again this season].
Rs can gamble on Quick while Garand development is accelerated, w/Domingue also stop gap.
At some pt Quick retires and it's Demko/Garand short term, hopefully Garand emerges NY can then sell high on him as well.

Shesty is a steal at like 5.6-ish on his current, expiring deal.


So VAN would have to bid over likes of TOR + prob others


Shesty + __________________
for
Demko ++ __________________

The ? is, do 'nucks wanna gamble on extending, and if yes, what significant add would VAN offer?

If offers not high enuf, we can juggle, not extend Panarin, and go Shesty-Garand as a fallback.

Edmonton already bought him out, he’s on a 1 year deal with Detroit.

 

[PelagicJoe]

They can have Husso, Campbell, or any of the other 17 goalies we have not named Cossa.

Is that narrative really any worse than “but we lost to the eventual cup champions for the 4th year in a row?!?!?”

No, the Oilers won the series.
