Another injury-prone goalie is on-brand for Carolina.
Demko for Andersen + ???
Probably a pick or prospect. Andersen + 2nd + Roslovic?

Canes and injured goalies, iconic duo
Replacing Andersen with Demko would be going out of the flying pan and into the other frying pan.
The most recent injury with Demko, being soft tissue is expected from a goalie who didnt train all summer. That along with back spasms which he dealt with as well..
The fact that its not the same knee that injured his Polpetues is very good news for Demko.
These other injuries are fixable and preventable in the future.
I think a team will be very happy with Demko if they traded for him for next year. The gamble is the year after if a team has to give him term when he is a UFA. but by then he may have put all the injury woes behind him.
When healthy and on form, he is a Vezina candidate in his sleep. So good.

If Demko was a target that someone like Carolina would legitimately want, I feel like the Canucks would be keeping him themselves and they wouldn't have given Lankinen that deal.
They're better off just holding onto him and seeing if he can get healthy. I can't see any way that a contending team would trade for him now with his issues.

The play here is obvious to me now.
1. Get Tristan Jarry retained to a decent number for free. Maybe for Jiri Patera. Either way Pittsburgh saves money on a buyout.
2. Send Demko to Robidas island to heal until the draft.
3. Keep Silovs and run a Lankinen - Jarry - Silovs combo until the playoffs since 2 of 3 have passed waivers anyways.
4. Jarry bounces back playing in a new enviroment (home) and unburdened with his contract.
5. Trade Demko with one year remaining to the highest bidder on day 2 of the draft.
6. Trade Silovs with one year remaining at 850k to the highest bidder on day 2 of the draft.
7. Sign next years Lankinen on July 1. One of the many available goalies all the Lankinen deal haters keep saying will obviously be available and cheaper.

You cant just send Demko to Robidas island unless he trully has a significant injury which it doesnt sound like it is. He is supposed to practice with the team after the Canucks return on their road trip.
Demko isnt going to sign off on being on ltir the rest of the season especially when he is essentially trying to showcase for a new contract.

Hey now, if the Canes can’t sign Rantanen let’s get Pettersson back on the table too, salary cap be damned.
Let’s do amother 3 way blockbuster:
Pettersson and Demko to CAR
Rantanen to somewheres
Rantanen return ++++ from CAR to VAN,
Sounds completely doable…amirite?

That would be a fantastic calculated move for Carolina in my opinion.
Low Risk-High Reward as Demko would be on an expiring contract.
If Demko, gets a full-off seaon of training and plays to his calibre, It would be a massive win for Carolina and a perfect fit for Demko playing in front of that D core.

Canes management when they look at goalie targets:

I dont even know the severity of the "recent" injury or setback or sun rising in the morning with Demko and its all a little tounge in cheek.
But also, like the Ilya moaning we did yesterday for pages upon pages, WHO CARES WHAT ILYA OR THATCHER WANT?!?
Thats the point of Robidas island. The Joffrey Lupul's aint supposed to like it. Maybe Francois Beauchemin was healthy the whole time I dont care.
The day Van pulls some Vegas cutthroat stuff is the day Canuck fans lose their collective minds, while screaming for us to be more like these other teams.
Demko, when healthy, is a top 3-5 goalie in the league. He's just had rotten luck with injuries. If the Canucks trade him, he should go to the eastern conference. Honestly, Buffalo and Carolina are the two teams that I would think who should have interest. I see a better fit with Buffalo instead of Carolina though.
Demko for Rantanen. The trade is one for one.

Kochetkov is actually 12th in the entire NHL in GSAx, with a full starters workload…ahead of Markstrom, Ullmark, Vejmelka, Wolf, Kuemper, Oettinger, Montembault, Sorokin etc.
I get wanting to pair him with a *healthy* veteran 1A/1B - but there’s certainly no reason for the Canes to risk much of consequence on Demko given the health situation.

The Lankinen deal is not a precursor for a Demko trade at all. If Demko bounces back, Canucks have a legit 1A/1B tandem signed at 9.5 mil next season. Why give up a Vezina caliber goalie for pennies on the dollar?

Puxsonnetey Petey saw his shadow
I do wonder if Carolina might revisit Pettersson amid the they-might-trade-Rantanen-again speculation.
They could target another playoff team for Rantanen that has players that Vancouver could covet.
But I suspect the whole league has simply soured on Pettersson too much to go for him in the middle of a down season.

Could see that as well, but think the cap might be problematic for an in season swap now to work. Athe draft and before Pettersson’s trade protection kicks in, no issues, now, they don’t have Necas ($6.5M) + Kotkaniemi ($4.8M) + ? to offer for Pettersson ($11.6M). The exchanged salaries offset one another basically. They also have Hall’s full $6M now that they didn’t have on the books prior to the Rantanen trade.
Also, what would they trade now for Pettersson? Do the Canucks want the Rantanen headache? Without Necas as a centerpiece, it comes down to futures basically and the Canes cant afford to deal Nikishin.
Seems like it’d be a very complicated transaction now. Personally, I think the Canes should have traded Necas + for Pettersson to begin with, but that ship has sailed.
Would be dumb to trade Demko for cents in the dollar this year or this offseason, unless he has a massive push to finish the year and his value goes back up. With Lankinen in the fold they can hope for the best going into next year and make a decision then. If he’s back in form you either try to keep him or potentially move him at the deadline

I was thinking the Carolina dream is dead but now im wondering how much better Svechnikov is than Necas if Carolina wanted to get crazy.
Probably enough to offset the rumored picks/prospects add..
Probably enough to even require an add from Vancouver's end..
Pettersson and Hoglander
For
Svechnikov and Kotkaniemi
Salaries are a wash today. Kotka can win draws. Svech becomes the Canucks golden boy.
Carolina get a 3 headed monster. Maybe Aho wasnt the chemistry fit for Rantanen but EP40 could be.
(Yes, Canucks would have Chytil-Kotka-Suter depth and would immedietly need to go center shopping)

Ideally he will be a Canuck July 1st for 775k after Pittsburgh buys him out.
Maybe im alone but at half retained, for free and dumping Patera's 775k for next year we could do alot worse as a #3 even if you think hes worthless today.
Id never even look at Jarry if Demko wasnt broken though.
