Hello Canuck fans, Blues fan coming in peace. I had a quick question about your goaltending. With Demko being ruled out for the start of the season is Silovs the starter? Also how long is Demko expected to be out? My fantasy team thanks you!

Sounds like Silovs will get game 01 but Lankinen will get a lot of starts too. First month is expected to be a tandem and if requires longer than that then whoever has been better will get more starts.

No one knows with Demko. He’s skating and taking shots but not participating in practice. No precedent for how long his recovery will be. I’d hazard a guess we won’t see him until late November/early December at the soonest.

I expect we will again win the


Which pundits are you talking about?

Everyone has the Canucks firmly in a playoff spot. Even Dom and his wacky model who hates the Canucks have them likely to finish 2nd in the division. Unless that's the fall off you're talking about?
What I'm seeing on podcasts is people saying the Canucks are a good team, probably 2nd in the division and pretty certainly a playoff team, likely to finish with about 100 pts. That would be a regression from 1st in the division and 109 pts.

If an optimistic soul had told any of us two years ago that predicting 100 pts and 2nd in the Pacific would be predicting that the team would be taking a step back, what % of us would have been laughing?

I created and deleted a list several times since it’s a little too early. I’ve been stumping for Vlad Gavrikov if the Kings falter. Weegar and Anderson are obvious candidates.
i vote for vlad gavirkov. 1yr left on his deal after this season. makes 5.8 and has an ntc. what would the kings want in return? forwards i assume
