Quoting: Branden23
This man really took WILLIAM NYLANDER and Liljegren AND A FIRST and gave us Demko who has been brutal and Garland who is a cap dump for Vancouver and called it a win win lmao
Quoting: MapleLeafsPhanatic
No where near a win win, no chance leafs give up Liljegren and Willy for Demko who has been nothing better then average and an undersized forward... exactly what we need
Demko at 5v5
20/21: .925 SV%, 6.67 GSAA, 7.89 GSAx
21/22: .933 SV% (3rd best), 26.42 GSAA (1st), 19.81 GSAx (3rd)
22/23: .920 SV%, 4.43 GSAA, 7.14 GSAx
22/23 after return from injury: .930 SV%, 7.72 GSAA, 8.22 GSAx
His overall numbers are lower because the Canucks have a terrible d corps and a historically bad PK. If he was on a team that could defend competently he’d be a Vezina candidate year in year out.
Garland is also a good 2nd line winger, especially at 5v5. The Leafs also get rid of the worst player/contract in the trade in Murray
