I think this is a great deal for Ottawa. I still have confidence Nilsson can push Anderson for some games. And it didnt really cost them anything for a better backup.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Is McKenna a viable NHL option or is Vancouver going to bring Demko up?

 

[Boeser Fan]

Is Demko being called up or will McKenna be the backup?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

At least they don't need to travel that far to join their new team!!!
Equipment managers must be dam happy for once!!!

 

[CanuckGame39]

This move is definitely to make room for Demko to finish the year with the big club.

All pending UFAs.

I wonder if Nilsson means they're gearing up for an Anderson trade at the deadline.

 

[blankall]

Making room in Vancouver for Demko?

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

Vancouver walks away with a 2019 6th rd pick and room to bring up Demko. Nicely done.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Good move for Vancouver for the sole reason that this opens up a goaltending spot in order to bring Demko up.

 

[Vitto79]

So a 6th for Nilsson and AHL / waived bodies ?

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

Making room in Vancouver for Demko?

Absolutely....I am surprised we pulled this off to be honest, Nilsson is terrible.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Das Thatcher Demko's music

 

[Sens With Benefits]

How is Nilsson? I'm sure he's an upgrade on McKenna. McKenna's been okay for us, but he's a career AHLer.

 

[justafan22]

So a 6th for Nilsson and AHL / waived bodies ?

yes

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Also it would be funny if they both played tonight. Vancouver is in Ottawa.

 

[Cogburn]

We have three 6th round picks now. Start your offers people!

This is like a reverse Benning for us.

He's learning...

 

[Canucks LB]

Demko time!!!!

 

[THE Green Man]

I wonder if Nilsson starts against Vancouver tonight....
Good deal for the Canucks, get Demko up and get a draft pick on top.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, biggest trade of the year!

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

We got a 6th round pick out of a deal involving a bunch of garbage, that makes it a win in my books.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Not Archibald....damn.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

While Nilsson isn't that good, he's certainly an upgrade over McKenna. Good deal for Ottawa.

 

[Boondock]

So the Canucks save a few bucks and pick up a 6th round pick. I guess that's better than the usual Benning move - hold on to a player and lose them for nothing. I hope Nilsson has better luck in Ottawa because he had a few solid games for us, just got unlucky in the win column.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I feel bad for McKenna. All that moving around must be hard on his family.
