Remembrance Day (Veterans Day to you Americans) is today. Today we remember all the soldiers who have served our country in war. We are very grateful for their service. Lest we forget.

Depends on the cost

Vanacek has looked more than capable as the tendy

If the Devils can buy low on Demko, I would do it [No current skaters + No top 3 prospects]


Quoting: Devil
L Hughes, Nemec ++ for Demko? Yeah Ill pass


Nemec for Demko 1 for 1 might make sense for both teams

I would have done it last year when Devils were DESPERATE for a goalie and Demko was great

With Vanacek playing solid and Demko struggling, I would hold off on it

Maybe it's a little hot so I'll be cool-cool-cool...

Isn't Marky that HOT goalie?
Yeah just like in VAN (and FLA) - he's not that good [period] - career STAT's don't lie -meh


Rule #1 with Alfie, don't talk down at the Flames or Ottawa like they aren't near the bottom of their respective divisions lol, will rip you attempt to rip you a new one.

To expand on my post about CBJ's injury luck, CBJ is currently missing: Werenski, Blankenburg, Kuraly, Voracek, Danforth, Boqvist with Kent Johnson and Gudbaranson possibly out too, if you wanted, you could add Texier to the list too

Man if only we didnt have 50 contracts I would claim

He was one of my FA targets during the offseason as I like what he brings. Surprised Florida is waiving him over Cousins

Would Henrik or Daniel make the HOF if not twins? Their respective numbers are not overwhelming. Patrik Elias has superior credentials and he's on the outside looking in.

Getting Demko would probably take 2-3 of your top 3 prospects lol, this isn’t a decent 1B, it’s one of the most talented workhorses in the league


So the best two defensive prospects on the planet...for a guy with -10 GSAA?

How many teams are heading for full-tank mode? Between the handful of obvious rebuilding clubs and a group of veteran teams under-performing, it seems like it could be a crowded tank this year. Could be upwards of 10 teams in full sell-offs at deadline.

If I had to categorize them...maybe something like...

"Full Tank Mode"
Anaheim
Columbus
Montreal
San Jose
St. Louis

"Tank-Optional" (aka, delayed tank)
Arizona
Chicago
Minnesota
Nashville
Ottawa
Philadelphia
Vancouver

"All growns up now"
Buffalo
Detroit
Los Angeles
New Jersey
Seattle

"Too old to tank, maybe too late to untank"
Calgary
NY Islanders
Pittsburgh
Washington

"Full Compete Mode"
Boston
Carolina
Colorado
Dallas
Edmonton
NY Rangers
Tampa Bay
Toronto
Vegas
Winnipeg

"No Pick, even if they did tank"
Florida

Demko is not who you should be worried about lmfao. Would you rather pay up for Martin Jones and his statline or Demko who’s dealing with abysmal play infront of him for a majority of the season.

And the Canucks have the WORST pk in the league right now.

The surgery also has not seemed to have helped Demko's play either

Like man if he continues to struggle this season not many teams are gonna go here's 2 A level prospects and a 1st

Meanwhile Jones is just having fun in SEA and might make Dreidger expendable

Demko's GSAx/60 is seventh worst for goalies with at least 4 games played fwiw.
Seems like he's part of the problem in Vancouver just as much as the defense in front of him.

I love Demko at reasonable price (which should be less than Hughes+Nemec)

YES.
It's the HOCKEY Hall of Fame and their international accomplishments/hardware make them very worthy.
