ouch... Demko's big return? He gonna get pulled back up once they trade Demko....?
- NewYorkNuck

Interesting to see what this team does with decent goaltending. Martin went from golden boy on here with many posters to deplorable in four months he was Demkos replacement back in October according to a few on here

I get the hate for Benning but to me it is like cursing at your four tires that fell off after a mile earlier your engine dropped out the street. This team has been dying since 2013 or maybe sooner. Yeah blah blah SCF but you still have to remember when Gillis took over he wanted to ship out half the team and couldn't.

Each GM just makes it worse and worse.
- VANTEL

And Gillis was wrong, we made the SCF. And with his drafting record (and trading for that matter) he would have ruined the team far worse.

Those same posters said Rathbone can easily replace Hughes...

Apperintly Silovs is being called up and Demko will go to Abby for conditioning. It is a playoff push

I think if teams are kicking around after the 5 mil but not offering anything, they'll hold him until the TDL when they can get something for him. They'll need warm bodies on the right side, plus they're not going to be competing next year so no rush moving him out.
- NewYorkNuck

Yeah that makes sense. Maybe it's an asset to take all the money and the bonus at the draft? I could see that.

This is quite smart. As for Silovs, not a bad idea getting him a few NHL games and sending him back down. Did great for Markstrom and Demko.

Elliotte Friedman on Tyler Myers to Toronto rumour :

That is not happening, earlier in season there was Myers talk, not now.
Toronto is looking for a forward, not defenseman.

Point is this team was not good even when Gillis arrived. It has been trending downward for over a decade and yes they did have a two year bump but no prospects, an aging team, and hard to move contracts did not help the next group either.

This topic has been beaten to death, but I have come to the conclusion that all the first time GMs and coaches along with an interfering owner is probably the biggest reason for the sad sack history.

Phew!

Yup. I see Schenn & maybe Boeser by the TDL. Garland as a longshot.

Thanks KruFrank!

Showcasing Demko in the AHL to make him look better, brilliant

Schenn on trade interest in him: A couple of years ago, you're just trying to be wanted by anyone. Now you're at the point where you're wanted, and it's a compliment for sure, but you want to be wanted, for me, it's always been to be wanted in Vancouver.

- VanHockeyGuy

Realistic. I could see a couple of moves to beef Abby up for a playoff run as well.

Most buyers are gonna want to see how he plays on a team with defensive structure.

Thank GOD, go find your game in Abby 5pencer
- claygolf83

Silovs will not surrender the net that easily

Myers will be an offseason move after the 5m is paid.

If you waited until next TDL you might get a second back. Key word is might.

That would mean an entire season of sheltered minutes unless they can find a partner that limits his liability.

So losses in Abby and wins in Vancouver. This management isn't backwards at all....

It would also mean two top five picks.

Breaking: MLB’s Joint Competition Committee has voted unanimously to make the extra inning rule permanent for all regular season games moving forward. (2023 and beyond). A runner will be placed at second base at the start of every extra inning. Story coming at espn
