Fanuck Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Understandable from Clark's perspective. He's almost 60yo if his online bio is correct and those on-ice development sessions must be very demanding physically. Keeping his knowledge-base in the organization is a great move by management. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Lot of changes this offseason. My only concern is when Demko will be ready 100%. Can't have a slow start to the season. We all know how this team struggles to get back in the race when they do that. Last season was amazing. Not expecting it to repeat as div champs, but certainly getting in the playoffs is the bare minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This move sort comes at an odd time and coincidence after Demko's health comes into question yesterday? Yes Clark is getting older but I can't see age being the reason here. Still a very relatively young goalie coach. I wonder if the organization wanted to keep Torenius and also with Demko's health consistently being called into question, they wanted a new way of doing things in order to maximize Demko's health but also playing style too.

He's still working with them and being a scout. The new blurb I read is he wanted a higher position. And he's pretty much our goalie scout anyways. I'm sorry my patience with Rick has worn pretty thin. He went downhill the moment he left 1130. What in his post was twisting words? Everything he posted is exactly as it is... I don't see what you're seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 25 minutes ago, Pears said: Not really tinfoil stuff just an interesting coincidence. With the Canucks “poking around” the goalie market and Askarov publicly saying he wants a trade. I’d be shocked if the Canucks didn’t check in on him. Is it the worst idea to have a succession plan for Demko? His career might not span into his late 30s if injuries continue to be an issue.

As well as Arty has shown so far he's still far from being close to a Demko type, whereas Askarov at least has that potential to be a legit starter if he's willing to wait a year or two. He's not getting that opportunity in Nashville anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you have a Luongo/Schneider or Markstrom/Demko situation where you can choose to trade one of them when the time comes. Always good to have a real succession plan. Not sure Silovs screams elite starter to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a reliable backup who can fill in for a starter when needed like he's done, which would be very good value for a 6th round pick.

I imagine Nashville wants at least similar value to the pick they spent on drafting him. So either a blue chip prospect or a 1st round pick. Id be fine trading a 1st for him personally. I’ve been saying for awhile getting a legit goaltender to take some of the workload off Demko is crucial. Having one that could potentially replace him in the future would be even better.

Then when the time comes we could flip Demko to recoup the asset(s) used to acquire Askarov. Seems like a no brainer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) I imagine he'll still be viewing tape and offering feedback. If he wants a new role with the club he has earned it.

The Lock Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I remember a couple of years back when everyone was panicking that Clark was not going to resign with this team a couple of years ago. And now we have people panicking even though he's still with the organization. Do you all just want to panic about anything? Is panicking a drug that I didn't know about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
