Speculation: Doug MacLean: Demko not happy in Vancouver

[SeanMoneyHands]

He said it today on Sportsnet with kypreos. He's hearing that Demko isn't happy in Vancouver. Unfortunately his health is still an issue. Any Offers on Demko? Canucks could continue to run with Lankinen and Silovs as a 1A and 1B.

What is happening in Vancouver. This implosion is fun to watch after reading these boards the last year or so

Miller

It's pretty crazy how many good players are in Vancouver and then want to leave. Must be the weather.

I’m fine with moving on from Demko, he’s doing more harm than good. He’s looked terrible since trying to return this season. He’s closer to a LTIR candidate

I was gonna say: Pettersson+Jarry for Hoglander+Demko.

Wow - it’s funny because it’s all cap dumps for the team you like and doesn’t actually benefit Vancouver at all.

Sorry, you wouldn’t understand the reasoning lol

 

[eojsmada]

Yikes....certainly sounds like things to need to change. I can't believe that the EP/Miller thing is this bad. There has to be something else going on.

There has also been a longstanding rumor about Miller coming within milliseconds of being traded to the Pens a few trade deadlines ago. Hence the joke.

The Miller/EP thing is bad blood. Demko I am guessing is 100% about how he feels the team has been treating him with regards to this injury. Maybe they are trying to force him to play/not play.

 

[Siludin]

Demko could start by playing better, because everyone would be happier if he kept he team in a few games.

I’m all in for the circus that’s going on and the “hyuck, hyuck. ThAt pDo durrrrr” comments for a team that hasn’t had a single healthy game with the full roster this year.

or... the guy is full of crap. one of the worst GMs ever.

What defines a healthy Nucks team this season though? You said it yourself, Demko might be finished. If you discount him they have iced a healthy roster. Its just a dysfunctional mess at this point. Pettersson hasnt been the same since signing that contract.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

DO SOMETHING!

 

[Riggins]

I think the Canucks are going to be rebuilding within a couple years. Once Hughes gets out of there they are completely cooked.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Whats MacLean's track record like ? Is it better as a journalist, or whatever he is than it was for him as a GM ?

 

[LokiDog]

Utah should be on this. Vejmelka dropped the game for them against NYR last night. Utah was definitely the better team.

I know they’ve had some injury problems with Durzi on the shelf long term, but they’ve got Durzi, Marino, Kesselring, Bortuzzo and Lamoreux on RD along and Serg, Cole, Maatta, Valimaki on LD with some decent D prospects as well.

I could see a maybe fit.

They haven’t had a game where all of Hughes, Hronek, Miller, Pettersson, Joshua and Demko have been on the ice and healthy.

Currently they are the close

I was gonna say: Pettersson+Jarry for Hoglander+Demko.

Jarry's value is far, far worse than Hoglander's as a negative asset.

You'd have to value Pettersson>>Demko, which is just plain stupid. No deal.

Youre assuming Demko has value, which is far from certain. No one knows if he will be able to play full time again and at what capacity. He could be an LTIR contract for all we know.
