Haha. That really made me laugh. Demko is not being traded.

Canucks decline. We'd need a goalie. It's been made quite obvious we're not rebuilding. Also that's not enough for Demko..

He won't sign with a struggling Canadian team.

A three way trade, or a proxy three way trade might make sense. Debrincat to Team A for picks, and then flip those picks to a team like Vancouver or Nashville for a goalie like Demko or Saros.

Forsberg would have to go the other way as the money in/money out, not Joseph. Forsberg may never be the same again. While it's cold to trade him after that injury, the Sens might be doing him a favour. He can clear waivers and work on his game without pressure in the AHL, and a team who is rebuilding or re-tooling will be in a better position to take the risk of eventually working him into NHL games.

Sogaard will sign a cheap 2 year 1-way deal to bridge him to arbitration. He will be the backup or 2B type goalie. In terms of Demko, that timeline works perfectly for Ottawa because it means that 2 years from now they trade 1 or the other. If they trade Demko, Sogaard will starting money. By that time, Merilainen will have 2 years of North American Pro experience under his belt, and they will also know if he can figure in as their #2 goalie on a cheap RFA bridge deal.

VAN laughs their asses off and has you committed to a mental asylum. MAYBE Boeser and a 1st for DeBrincat but no way in hell they're making a "Win Now" move for Cat while giving up Demko in the process. You sir should pursue a career in comedy as this is absolute gold.

Yea that's fair...but if he wants out there is a possibility....also we all know Vinny's mismanages Thier assets

Thats a decent offer...but ur right it's slightly favoring the sens....the sens could add a second and its fair

..

It's not! Demko is a franchise defining goalie, DeBrincat is a 30 goal winger who will score 40 once every couple years. VAN doesn't want to trade Demko, so if the Sens want him it would need to be DeBrincat, a 1st & a 2nd for Demko and Boeser and even that is heavily favoring the Sens. When you look at the stats this season, DeBrincat is well under a ppg and on pace for less than 30 goals while also being a -23 on a decent Sens team, makes absolutely no sense, personally I wouldn't even do DeBrincat for Boeser 1 for 1 given the salary Cat will demand and how inconsistent he is.

That must be why Ottawa hasn't been able to extend him.
