Swap Bratt with Merc dawg and I would do this

Devils decline until Demko can be above average for a full season again

Why is that a thing? One full year? He got rushed back and aggravated an injury. Then had time to recover and helped the Canucks stay Bedarded by ruining their lottery odds. Pretty sure if the medicals said he was legit, ppl wouldn't throw some arbitrary timeframe out there.

I'm simply not gonna trade valuable assets for a goalie who was bad last year outside of a 8 game stretch

Cap wise and need wise, it's not a fit. Talent wise, I'd agree with you.

Everyone has seen what a stud in net will do for you. You're ignoring all the factors around Demko, especially a terrible defense. But hey, it's all good.

Outside of the last 3 games ( 2 of whcih came against the actively tanking Ducks and Blackhawks), demko had approximately -14 GSAx). I'm not giving up premium assets for that

With AHLers such as McWard, Hirose and Burroughs and studs like Myers... So two competent D in Hughes and Bear.

You don’t watch Demko if you think he’s avg or below avg.

Canucks possess one of worst D-corps I’ve seen in 30yrs of watching hockey.

If you think Demko was a good goalie last year I don't know what to tell you

Two legit questions for you:
1. how many Canucks games did you watch this season?
2. what stats/sources do you use to rank goalie performance?
