Captkirk888 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 1 hour ago, RWJC said: “Training camp is around the corner, and here we are in mid-August, and nobody’s really talking about Demko [and] what’s going on,” Dhaliwal replied when asked what the latest he’s hearing on Demko. “What I am hearing is that he is progressing, but no timetable as to when he’s going to be 100% healthy.” “That means for me, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Canucks continue to poke around the goalie market again,” Dhaliwal added. “The Canucks may need insurance, just in case, which is a good move on their part. This is the time of the season to talk to players’ agents about PTOs (professional tryouts).” “Now, Demko’s coming off the back-to-back knee injuries, so sometimes rehab is fast, and sometimes rehab is slow,” Dhaliwal said. “Canucks, I’ve been told, have been worried about Demko’s rehab going back to the NHL draft. I think by that time, Demko had not skated since Game 7 against the Oilers.” “I’m not hearing any setbacks on Demko. [I’m] not hearing anything super bad about Demko’s rehab. But sometimes you’ve got to be prepared for the unprepared. So I think they might be poking around the goalie market, maybe a PTO, who knows.” “I asked if he had any medical procedures this summer, and I get absolutely radio silence on the other end,” Dhaliwal expressed. “But we have to understand; this is your starting goaltender who’s coming off two serious injuries. He needs time; he’s a big goaltender. This is why the importance of a good veteran backup like Casey DeSmith is so important.” “I’m not super concerned about Demko; I just think you have to protect yourselves. I just heard this week that they’re again poking around the goalie market, just making some calls, that’s all. The red flag is not out; he should be okay. But maybe his rehab is not going as fast as some like.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammaInTheTub Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I’m confident Silovs will do well, but wouldn’t this have been nice for reassurance at this point… On 7/1/2024 at 10:14 AM, Coconuts said: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was super impressed with him and his positioning in camp last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Dhaliwal is saying a lot of nothing in this. He isn’t even saying that Demko is still injured… he is saying he has heard nothing at all and is just speculating that they might want to shore up their goalie situation in case Demko isn’t ready. I don’t think anyone has suggested that Demko won’t be ready for the season. I can’t imagine that Alvin wouldn’t have signed another goalie already if he thought it was a risk. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Guess that's us done then, don't have much flexibility at all now. This medical team has thrown a lot of curve balls over the years despite surely different staff and Demko's management has been very questionable - rushing him back from injury only to get re-injured, thinking he'd be ready for the next round and now this! Sure it might be on Demko and bad luck but it doesn't sound good, all the flipping and flopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I've always known "no news is good news". His insta shows him boating, on the golfcourse, etc. so nothing seemingly too bad or hampering his every day life. "No timetable" isn't really unusual for a team that keeps its cards close to its chest. I'm not worried.....yet. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
