Canucks decline. Blackwood has potential, but hasn't proved he's a true #1 yet IMO (partly because he can't stay healthy), and Demko is an ELITE goalie. He plays with the likes of Myers, Ekman-Larsson, and Poolman as his "defense", and still has a .917 SV%. He reminds me of Saros, in the sense that the team would not have a hope of the playoffs without him. If he was on, say, the Canes, he's a Vezina contender. Put Blackwood in his stead and the Canucks are back to square one.
