<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Surprising 🤔, as a Canucks fan i’d think you’d know all about awful contracts 😂 but clearly not. Sammy just put up better numbers than Demko (overrated) but we’ll trade him and add our best defenseman who just lit up the playoffs. Nah … pass</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Franchise goalie? Is there that much difference between Samsonov and Demko? Reilly isn't a bad contract at all. Besides Reilly would have no desire to waive to the Canucks....Vancouver maybe, Canucks no.</div></div>

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

Samsonov at 5v5
20/21: .911 SV%, -2.38 GSAA, -4.61 GSAx
21/22: .903 SV%, -11.41 GSAA, -10.07 GSAx
22/23: .926 SV%, 11.22 GSAA, 17.44 GSAx

And yes, Rielly is a bad contract. He’s a defensive liability whose offense dropped significantly this year. Using an 11 game sample size from the playoffs doesn’t change that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>We agree that the Canucks are basically an ahl team but as far as the the rest, gimme a break: Injury 🙄, not a huge believer in advanced stats but helpful in situations like this: saves above expected per 60, Sammy = 0.436, Demko = -0.182; WAR, Sammy = 3.01, Demko = - 0.91</div></div>
Yes injury. One huge flaw with the Canucks medical staff is playing guys with injuries. Boeser until he was shut down. Mikheyev literally was playing with a torn MCL until he was shut down. Demko was playing through a lingering injury until his breaking point. Of course his numbers are going to be bad. Goalie is one of the most athletically dependant positions. If you watched him at all, you could see that Demko’s lower body was stiff as a plank of wood to start the year. Why don’t you use the numbers when he was healthy? Oh yeah, because it wouldn’t fit your narrative
