Any Dmen the same age who have high end skill but injury concerns?
Would make a straight swap easier
I mean, I like Lankinen. But we've kind of thought "oh crap, our backup can replace our starter so he can be flipped for upgrades" a few times now and it didn't work out. (Martin, Silovs, Lack way back when)
Probably worth more than (half) a season to make sure he's the real deal.

Fair but like I said it would be smart to shop Demko and see his value now and if he plays to his ceiling you circle back and see what the teams are offering then.
Lanks is much more established than the 3 gents you spoke of.
Been thinking the same thing. The Hurricanes are dying on the vine in the crease.....and they have some young d-men in their system that makes your mouth water if you're a Canucks fan.

Canes after so many years of goalie injuries trading a haul for someone with a goalie injury even they havent heard of, isnt happening.
Canes are one of the teams in the NHL 'going for it'. They're a playoff hardened team, with depth everywhere in their lineup, except in goal.
If they're reticent about Demko, they still need help from somewhere. You can't go far in the post-season unless your goaltender is one of your best players.

Yes they need something but..
3 years of Mrazek injuries
3 years of Raanta injuries
3 years of Anderson injuries
2 years of Koch injuries
They aint trading for a guy coming off an injury like Demko's for as long as Demko's.
Maybe they risk it on a Gibson with a normal procedure but not on a popetitlius or whatever.

At this point Allvin should be dangling the Hog in front of anyone he encounters and gauging their reaction.

Not worth losing Miller. Pass.

If there’s actually some sort of deal to be made around Hoglander for Marcus Pettersson, just do it. We need help on D, and clearly Hoglander is in the Kuzmenko/Sprong zone with Tocchet. His value is only going to get worse the longer this drags out.
Yep. If the Rags want Miller I made an objective and neutral ask from the Canucks if thats the case in the main boards. Im getting torn apart by Rangers fans but Miller is THAT good
no to the first deal. absolutely not. heart and soul of the team. wears his heart on his sleeve. the f*** we want trocheck for?
with 7mins of icetime.. yeah some kind of showcase. but he himself isnt doing any favours as well.
