This all just seems weird to me. If teams went weeks without analyzing every position, then I wouldn’t blink at a report like this. But from end of season to as of last week, the Canucks were set to go. Now all of a sudden a 180 pivot and they want an experienced backup. Does that mean Demko’s rehab is not going well? Did he have a setback? Is there an intriguing trade on the table? It’s fun to speculate. It would be hard to believe that the brass was just sitting around and one of them said, “you know, I think maybe we should have an experienced back up”. And everyone else said, “Yeah, that’s a good idea! Your right”.
Because it’s a sudden change. I believe that it’s 1 of the 2. Either Demko is having an early offseason set back, or the team has been given a tempting trade offer that are making the Canucks consider a change in goal.
Let’s see where this goes.
