I'm a bit at a loss for what you're looking for in terms of examples then, and I think you're ignoring where things are at with this team and what people are assuming it's going to be looking like toward the trade deadline. Demko is already starting more than people expected and putting up better numbers than Markstrom with a pretty similar overall performance. He hasn't overtaken Markstrom as being clearly better, but neither had Price, and 6 poor games from Huet, who had put up some of the best numbers in the league since the lockout. They started to believe that Price was going to be better from that point, but it was still a leap of faith in the young tender. It would be no different with Demko if he continues to play like he has. He doesn't have to outplay and fully steal the job for that to happen. And just because Gainey doesn't mention recouping assets doesn't mean it wasn't a big aspect of it. Huet was about to get a big payday that Montreal wouldn't match and a 2nd rounder is actually a big return for a UFA to be goalie historically.
