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

[Jee]

Jake Allen maybe?

 

[Peasy]

That's not good...

This guy isn't even 30 yet and has had so many injuries and has missed so much time with injuries. Starting to seem like his body can't hold up to the wear and tear. Injuries are much harder on goalies imo.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Nothing confirmed, but there are rumblings that it's a body injury.

My favorite injury, and I forget the player that had it but when the team was asked about his injury they said he had a physical injury.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

We have a Tristan Jarry.

 

[TBF1972]

my condolences canucks fans

you will be now getting a lot of three team trades on hfb where you pay the price for a third party who wants to acquire askarov.

 

[TBF1972]

Jake Allen maybe?

you want him to reach the 40 game mark?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Who are the best goalies who have to clear waivers and don't have a firm hold on an NHL job?

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Jake Allen maybe?

Why would NJ trade him?

 

[Jee]

Why would NJ trade him?

Depending on the price iunno

 

[nergish]

Anyone else wonder if the "new school" goalie style is so demanding physically that goalies are getting hurt more often and more seriously?

There is no question about it imo

 

[Superlative Soup]

Sad. Demko's career quickly approaching "what could have been"

 

[Peter Griffin]

Gee. That's so appealing. What team could resist?

You don’t understand LTIR do you? Or what the + could be? Or even who the targeted goalie could be, hint, I never suggested anyone decent.

Vancouver literally made a similar trade with your team last year sending capdump Tanner Pearson and a 3rd for Casey DeSmith.

Next time, save the effort, and don’t even bother attempting to make a “funny” response.

Not a goalie expert - but if the "reverse VH" is so demanding physically that world class atheletes break down playing it, it might not be worth it. (Or you have more teams running 3 legits goalies and split the time to enable guys to not break down trying to play 60 games in a year).

Lankinen

When free agent market opened, I thought that Canucks is the team that signs Lankinen. So why not.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Something fishy .They definitely need veteran goalie. Silovs is to young and inexperienced.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Money

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

The entire contract is 3 million not each year

 

[innitfam]

Money

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

1M per year though. Not 3M per year.

Lankinen

Hopefully. Best option available that isn't a trade.

 

[Leviathan]

Lankinen
Jones


...Raanta and Prosvetov I guess...

 

[DesertPenguin]

Pens have a log jam at G that goes 6 deep. Jarry is signed long term so that doesn't really work, but I wonder if the Pens deal Jarry to a team looking for an upgrade, and then flip the goalie they get back.

 

[junyab]

If the Habs can somehow land Askarov we'd have Monte or Primeau available.

My favorite injury, and I forget the player that had it but when the team was asked about his injury they said he had a physical injury.

I remember when Vanek once sat out a game from "general soreness".

 

[Golden_Jet]

Don’t the red wings have 4 goalies, plus Cossa.

Oh I understand ltir just fine and I realize that it's not actually an asset 95% of the time. Do you?

 

[cc]

I'd probably role to dice with Martin Jones

This is getting to be concerning. Whatever goalie techniques that are being deployed these days to train goalies even took out the Canucks Goalie Coach Ian Clark.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Yes and I never suggested he was an asset. The Canucks if they’re going to make a move for a goalie that makes over $1M would need to find a way to include Poolman in the deal, just like Vancouver did last year with the Pearson/DeSmith trade. So my suggestion of Poolman+ could be any number of options. Only you thought I was suggesting Poolman was an asset lol.

When the only thing you suggest in your suggestion is a negative value asset and some undetermined + it's reasonable to assume you think Poolman is actually worth something
