I just find he has so many hot takes.. as most of our fanbase does… like thinking you need to develop a top 10 pick for 5 years before they play a game in the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 What’s going on with Demko? Is he healthy? Training camp is about a month away. It’s been quiet off season with regards to the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we sign Demko for 8.5. He hasn’t proven that he can remain healthy. That’s poor asset management in my books. I would go as far as 7.5M for him long term. But 8.5M might be too much considering he just can’t seem to remain in tact physically. Does that improve as he ages? A part of me wishes he could. But if the past is any indication of the future. Then likely not. I would love Askarov. But Nashville is going to be asking for the moon for him. So no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 18 hours ago, The Lock said: And yet, to replace him would be next to impossible, at least not without paying an arm and a leg. I feel I need to clarify here: when I mean "jumping the gun", I'm not just talking in terms of his injury history. I'm also talking in terms of what benefit would we have in trading him away. Right now, trading him away means we go from being a potential contender to questioning if we make the playoffs. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to go back to waiting for us to have another good goaltender. You can think negative all you want. I'm not stopping you. However, this is who we have right now: a goalie who's one of the best when not injured but does get injured. Maybe Silovs or some other goalie in the system proves they are worthy eventually. Maybe we trade for Askarov even. Until that time though where we have a clear path to go, Demko's our guy. I agree that he’s our guy. This club will likely either live or die with our goalie. But if he’s out for any extended period of time. We’re fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it’s a lighter training camp for Demko. That’s all They have to manage his workload that’s for sure. If not. He’s going to get hurt again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good when you have a young backup though. I think it’s important for Silovs development to get 30 plus games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old friend called and asked me this morning if I’d heard that Demko was going for surgery. I said yes I heard about it yesterday morning… we both agreed whoever made that decision (if it’s true that surgery is needed) should be immediately terminated. If true and if it’s also true that Petey was playing injured last year… the health staff/ management is doing horribly with injury management.

Elias Pettersson Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 So, it's basically confirmed that Demko has had some type of surgery. He will be out for at least a month, maybe longer. My spidey senses tell me that all is not okay with Demko. If I were Allvin, I'd go hard after Askarov... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally said he won't be ready for training camp. Why wouldn't he be if he's not injured? And why are the Canucks looking to get another goalie which has 100% been confirmed? Please tell me you're not that naive to think there isn't a problem with Demko? Remember when Demko was supposed to be back for round 3? That was like 3 months ago...

Doesn’t expect… Can’t confirm that… its quite possible that he’s not ready for training camp but I’ve been around since long enough to see enough lies spread around as well.
