It isn't a lack of trust in Silovs at all it's an acknowledgment that if Demko is injured they need goaltending depth. Plus Silovs isn't waiver eligible so he can freely go up and down all yr and play 40+ games between the two. Plus it takes all the pressure off him to be the savior.This is honestly pretty significant news for Vancouver, this means that demko is going to need some more time most likely, and they wanted more depth for goaltending.
I think the worst thing about this is maybe the lack of trust in silovs
If Demko is healthy Lankinen wont get that many starts. Silovs is still going to get games. Demko once healthy has to play at least half the games.Lankonen would land as Demko’s backup. But even when Demko is back his games played will be managed. So Lankonin will play a lot. Maybe 30-40 starts, even if Demko is healthy.
