Here's the problem I see with all of the recent Thatcher-Demko-to-Los-Angeles trade ideas:
Demko was horrible this year, almost undoubtedly due to his injury. When he returns from rehabbing that injury, and plays the last third of the season, one of two things will happen:
1. Either he will display his earlier form, in which case why would Vancouver trade him; or
2. He will not show any improvement, in which case why would Los Angeles want him?
For sure, Los Angeles won't be doing this before the trade deadline, ergo, before the end of the season, because there won't be enough time to see how well Demko has recovered from his injury.
