Thread: Buffalo Needs a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Demko has a career .909 save percentage. Obviously this year he has struggled (the whole team has). His career high is a .915 over 64 games last season. Just so you know, a 0.915 is far from elite statistics for a goalie. That's just slightly above league average. I'm not saying Demko isn't a solid goalie, clearly he is. He's putting up slightly above average metrics on a team that doesn't play good defense in front of him. That said, it's not justifiable to ask for a goalie who is getting better for us game after game and still has much more ceiling to reach. He's also only 23. On top of that you want our top prospect in Savoie and a 2nd. If Demko was a 0.920 goalie consistently, then yes I'd offer that. He isn't, so I wouldn't. We can sign a UFA goalie if need be in the offseason. We've waited 11+ years for a playoff bound team, a couple more months to be patient and prudent isn't hard</div></div>

If Demko was on a team that was actually competent (not even good but average) on the PK and just at playing defense, he’d be looked at much better than he is. Everyone is down on him because of 15 bad games this season, but last year he was top 3 in the league in 5v5 save % and 5v5 GSAx, and the previous two seasons combined he was second in 5v5 GSAx. The Canucks defense, and specifically the PK, has been completely incompetent which hurts his numbers, but his advanced stats show he is an elite goalie
