Canucks News N Notes 25-26

From listening to the “pro’s” lately when it comes to the scouting reports on AHL goalies, it seems that the goalies in question the AHL stats associated with them are not high on the list of priorities that form the gyst of the scouts scouting report on AHL goalies which is mainly due to playing against lesser talent and just the overall scrambly play of the minors where athleticism seems to reign supreme. You always here “fundamentals” first and foremost when it comes to their thoughts on goalies on the farm and it seems the scouts in general ain’t blown away by Silovs when it comes to“fundamentals”.

Good post...

Would be curious if Megs feels the same way, but from watching Silvos the past 2 seasons in Abby I didn't get the feeling that he was close to being NHL ready...

One thing I think we can all agree on is management around the league lean heavily on their director of Goalie Development or goalie coaches when it comes to goaltenders and in Clark the Nucks have one of the best in the buisness....

Take care...

A lot is riding on a very delicate popliteus.

Too much, really..

Who are you to speak about the popliteus of love?? What ar your credentials? Are you even a space cowboy?

Similar to forwards that can put up points in the AHL, but not make the jump against better competition.

I just realized something horrible, I can no longer say ‘thank you, Jim’ when it comes to Silovs.

One less thing for you to shit up the boards about.

Thank you, Blob

Or, more likely, it turns out management made a mistake.
It may turn out that Demko won’t stay healthy, the Canucks miss the playoffs by a couple points and the kid is solid in Pittsburg.
Even if Silovs never becomes a starter, the Canucks could have carried three goalies, held on to their current third best goalie as insurance and gotten a similar return at a later point this season.
Since the return was only a 4th in two years and a player who is trending toward being a bust, it does nothing to help the club this season, so why rush the trade?
Silovs was certainly clutch internationally and in Abby.
Great in tight and still very young for a goalie who was working on his tracking and distance game.
If he fixed that, which he looked much better at during the Abby playoff run, he could become a starter with a history of rising to the occasion.
It’s a mistake right now for rushing the trade for what is a presently unhelpful return and disregarding the benefit of having Demko insurance.
At minimum, Silovs should have been carried as a third goalie until he could be part of a package to bring a current NHL player in return, and Demko had shown he could stay healthy for 20 games.
Since it is presently an unhelpful return, the trade is a mistake right now, and we’ll see how big a mistake this trade becomes later if Silov’s actually turns out to be a cheap solid backup or a starter. It’s not like the Canucks couldn’t have used Lankinen’s or Demko’s salary to pay a 2C if he does.

Teams don't carry three goalies very often. Almost never. They are giving the kid a chance elsewhere:
