We have to start the convo about what to do with Lankinen.
He's far to valuable right now to let walk in the off season...

There's not really much to do.
If he keeps playing well he will demand starter money and playing time, neither of which is available here assuming Demko is healthy.
But right now given the question marks around Demko, we need to keep Lankinen around (plus his value at the deadline won't be anything overly significant anyway).
If by the end of the year it looks like Demko will never be reliable, that's a different story, but we will need to wait and see on that.

Hypothetical. But let's say Lankinen continues to perform and outplays Demko down the stretch.
With goalies looking like they are starting to get paid and with the chance to sign Lankinen to a fair value contract, do we consider trading Demko for a haul?
I dunno I'm just the type that doesn't like to bleed assets. I just don't see how you can let a guy like Lankinen walk considering the fact Demko is going to want a massive contract coming up and his injury history worries me.
Lankinen and a 1st is > than a overpaid injured Demko.
Interesting tidbit from Chris Johnston:
Since the Blue Jackets took David Jiricek sixth overall in the 2022 draft, they haven't been able to agree on whether or not the right-handed D-man is ready to play in the NHL. Have the Jackets now decided it's time to move on from him, C.J.?
Johnston: Well, more or less. I think that is the case. I mean, there's certainly a lot of smoke around the situation and a lot of noise and that's because of the fact that the Blue Jackets have engaged in trade discussions with other teams on this big right-shot D - as you mentioned - still just about to turn 21 years old, very much with his career ahead of him. I think a significant thing has happened here - is initially the Blue Jackets were looking to get another prospect back, someone equivalent, a kind-for-kind type of trade for Jiricek. You know, they're getting to the point where they may consider now a package of picks, maybe even a depth defenceman as part of what it would take to get him. I think that will bring more teams into the mix here. Certainly time is of the essence. He's down in the AHL and doesn't want to be there forevermore

Still don’t think he’s coming here but picks and depth defencemen are two things the Canucks can afford to give up.

Well we know what apartment building he lives in from the Amazon documentary, so it's true that he hasn't bought a HOUSE, but we don't know about his apartment.
That being said, even if he didn't intend to stay, it would be very silly of him to not buy his apartment, just from an investment perspective, his financial planner is probably screaming at him if he hasn't purchased his apartment.
thanks for the clarficiation. whatever deal they make. it will have to include their 2025 first or 2026 first. as much as i hate to give up picks for help. its a risk that they have to take in order to get to the next step.
