Popular Post Coconuts Posted June 27 Popular Post Share Posted June 27 I'd wager that it means that they want him to play a larger number of games in Abbotsford If they view him as a potential starter down the road it makes sense for him to get used to playing a larger number of games sooner than later 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silovs and Tolopilo split games 50/50 last year. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 (edited) I don't see Allvin signing Silovs to a $1 million+ one way contract to play in Abby for one more year. Makes no sense. Plus, as HKSR mentioned, Tolopilo played half the games last year and is a solid prospect. He should be getting #1 minutes in Abby. If DeSmith is coming back, that may signal that they made their goalie decision and will sign Demko to a long term extension. Which means Silovs may be packaged in a trade to get a winger for Petey... Edited June 27 by Elias Pettersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. Silovs is ready for 10-20 NHL games and Tolopilo is ready to be an AHL starter IMO. Seems weird to bring DeSmith back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for playing your bag off for those 13 playoff games. Here is an AHL salary, the guy that backed you up during those 13 games is a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Need three goalies. If he comes back less I’m all for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 8 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: That would be the responsible thing to do in terms of having an NHL pedigree backup behind Demko and a starter in the AHL playing games and in a position to be called up if Demko is out for a stretch. As for DeSmith, you'd have to think it stings a little to have the starter go down and then unable to secure the role and play games when they mean the most. He could have a better opportunity elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 That makes no sense, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Could just be posturing. Could also just be insurance in case Demko inevitably gets injured. If anything, I wonder what this means for Demko. He's been very injury prone. If he has another rough injury season do we cut bait with him at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby minutes isn't gonna help his development that much more than where he's at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silovs played very well and the organization, Ian Clark are very high on him. He is who they are grooming as the next starter to push Demko. He is not there yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, hard to argue with that, guess we'll see I still think there's a chance they want him playing more games though Maybe they got an offer on Silovs Edited June 27 by Coconuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Hopefully this doesn't mean the Demko injury is more serious than we thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Just now, stawns said: That makes no sense, imo I don't think it will happen because of money alone. But he is a solid option while the team continues to mold and grow Silovs into their next starter down the road. The team did not free up this amazing amount of cap with the Mikheyev deal. They need to sign or bring back at least two 4/5 NHL dmen, ideally a 3rd so Juulsen and riedman are 7s and not rotating on the bottom pair.

HKSR Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Silovs could likely get into 25 to 30 NHL games this year. That's far better for his development than playing 40 to 45 AHL games (which he already did in 2022-23). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 A thought I have is this: If Silovs outplays DeSmith, is he okay playing in Abbotsford? DeSmith feels too good to be in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
