CaptainCanuck12 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Does Silovs require waivers this year? If so, he's got the backup job. If not, Patera may get it, depeding on whether Silovs shows any regression in preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silovs is exempt from waivers this season. 25/26 is the first season where he'll be subject to waivers to send down to Abby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Silvos being waiver exempt is a big advantage for the team and Silvos' development. The team is allowed to potentially run with 3 goalies in the main club which reduces the risk of injury (especially on Demko) and allows these goalies to be in better condition during the playoffs. I think Campbell might be a good fit for the team if they can sign him to a cheap one year deal. ( maybe 2 million x 1 ? aka post buyout reclamation money ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Reimer went to Buffalo for just $1M... why didn't we get him?? Is Patera good enough to be our new backup??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was, in my opinion, the perfect backup for Demko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they even know. PA mentioned that they may have Silov’s doing some back and forth to get more games. Patera is likely 3/4th guy behind Silovs and Tolipolo. Ty Young may be around too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Ian Clark must be invested in this player and had some input. 6"3' 215. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have to fact check this but Ty Young may be AHL eligible this year. So maybe he gets some reps instead of Canucks signing another project. They seem to be high on him.

Blue Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I have no idea who this guy is but he's probably more technically sound than Stuart Skinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a career backup which is what we need at this point. Hes a good goalie. Played for a horrible Chicago team and still managed to put up a decent season a few years ago playing 37 games. He was better in Nashville with more structure in front of him. Had a .916 SV% two seasons ago. But really it’s the Ian Clark factor that will determine what level he can reach. Clark has turned some pretty unproven and average goalies into solid goaltenders. I’m sure a goalie with some actual NHL pedigree like Lankinen could thrive under him.
