Additional Details:
I know this somehow wont be enough for Canucks fans but i honestly think it is reasonable given their current trajectory and situation. Subtracting 11 million in cap and only adding 3.3 million back on the starting roster is a huge benefit for a team already above the cap for next season. Additionally, Jokiharju is a step up from Myers. Luukkonen is young and has shown promise. I do not like giving up Ostlund or a 2024 1st round pick but Buffalo needs a solid goal tender to pair with Levi and Thatcher fits the bill.

Additional Details:
Olofsson would be a solid scoring addition to a fast transitioning Carolina offense. A second round pick is fair compensation going the other way.

My only thought about a move like this is I'd rather see Boeser attached than Myers for the quick turnaround attempt. Let Myers expire and also be able to utilize Boeser's space for a goalie.

Vancouver isn’t doing that deal because it makes no sense. The only reason to get cap space for next season is to try to make the playoffs. This team isn’t making the playoffs without Demko. If Vancouver was in a rebuild, then trading a cap dump player like Myers makes no sense either.

Demko is not going anywhere.He is Our goalie of the future.We have invested several years into his development.He loves it in Vancouver.I doubt he gets moved.IMHO.

Thats a hell of an offer for Demko. But as others have said i think he's untouchable unless we were to move Miller and some others and totally rebuild. Then id bite your arm off to give this deal.
