Ultimately to prepare Demko for full time duty in 2019/20, then #1 goalie 2020/21. I liken this to the Andrei Vasilevskiy plan, who split two years with the AHL/NHL.
There’s zero reason to bring in another backup goalie unless Demko seizes the spot. The team will be lucky to hit 80 points next year, yet you want to punt the backup goalie ASAP. Makes a ton of sense.
Nilsson, besides his two shutouts this season he's atrocious bro 3.52 GAA??

His last 10 games goals against.
4, 3, 4, 3, 5, 5, 1!, 4, shutout!, 5

He'll be good to have if you want another tank season, but if you want the team to improve you gotta move Nilsson out.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Lol play with numbers and remove his good games. Makes sense. Birdbones has 4 goals in his last 5 games when it doesn’t matter and had 2 in the first 23 when you guys were planning a parade route with a slightly above .500 team. But hey continue to pick on a backup goalie with one year left at 2.5 million and ignore the two wet shits making 10.5 million (with trade protection) for the next three or four years and hoarding top 6 ice time all the while rewarding the fans with some of the softest, most uninspired play since Roman Oksiuta and Josef Beranek. Carry on.

Nope not at all. Just suggesting that he is pretty far down the list of guys to move ASAP

Kelowna eliminated what to do with Kole Lind? Utica?

That was the plan if the Rockets were eliminated. Hopefully for him he gets a chance but then again we have the why burn a year on his ELC if we don’t have to.

What is the emergency? Too many wins?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Skyo got his wish. They shipped out Nilsson because he cost the team a playoff spot

Dahlén, who had been held pointless in the first two games, eased into action with a second assist on the first goal, a first assist on the fourth one and then scored the fifth himself into an empty net.

Highlights footage has not been released yet, but I'll make sure to post it tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, here's the highlights reel:

They start playing the semi finals on April 2nd. Since they eliminated Brynäs in five, they've had some rest while waiting for the other quarter finals to end.

Jonathan has another game tonight though, and scored the first goal of the game.
It's tied 1-1 after the first period.
