I could maybe see Marino for Demko straight up if the Devils would consider resigning Severson but I think they have little appetite to add. I’d also like to see if Demko can rebound next year because he hasn’t been better than what the Devils have now in VV and Schmid.
If the Canucks are trading Demko it probably means that they intend to tank for a year or two, as they have no other viable starters from what I can see.
Wouldn't make sense for them to ask for Marino back in return in such a scenario.
I wouldn't want the Devils to trade for Demko at this point in time anyway.
The cost of acquiring Demko would be way too high to justify the risk of him not getting back to his previous superstar levels, injury asied he's been genuinely terrible in net this year.

to call beauvillier close to a cap dump is pretty ridiculous
definitely a capable middle 6 winger whos still only 25. Makes the same as Marino and Marino isnt much more than a 3/4 guy
Didn't say that Beauvillier is an actual cap dump (though he was traded as one just a couple of weeks ago), just saying that he's closer to a capdump than the type of forward talent the Devils would be looking for when dealing Marino.
As of now there are 10 forwards on the Devils roster I'd take ahead of Beauvillier: Hughes, Hischier, Meier, Bratt, Mercer, Palat, Tatar, Haula, Boqvist, Bastian.
Wouldn't make much sense for the Devils to deal a 2nd pair RHD for a winger not living up to his cap hit and that doesn't bring anything to the team that isn't already there.
You're right in that Marino 'isn't much more than a 3/4 guy', but those kinds of RHDs are way more valuable than a dime-a-dozen winger with consistency issues like Beauvillier.
I'd think you'd understand that as a Canucks fan, but apparently not.

Beauvillier not the only forward on the canucks
True. But I don't see any forwards on the Canucks roster that it'd make sense to give Marino up for.
Boeser, Mikheyev and Garland certainly aren't it.
