Confirmed with Link: [VAN/NJ] Canucks acquire G Louis Domingue for G Zane McIntyre

[Bitz and Bites]

Well, if I'm being honest.. we are probably f*cked.

With that said, now is your time to take the job Demko. No pressure kid..... who am I kidding, all the f*cking pressure in the world is on him. Good luck.

No,no...just go and have fun out there,we don’t care if you let in ten goals.

Jimbo is learning, didn't throw away a draft pick.

nm wrong thread. thought you were talking about today's tdl in general

 

[Canuckle1970]

Damn. Let's hope the guys tighten up defensively. Demko is solid but not a miracle worker (yet).

Hoping for a full recovery for Marky. Welcome Louis D.

 

[NuxFan09]

A good chance to see what Thatcher can do before the Canucks spend a ton of money on Markstrom with cap issues. If Demko steps up and shines and shows the pedigree we have always thought he has, then maybe you let Markstrom walk and keep the younger, cheaper goalie.

Exactly. Sucks that Markstrom is out but this is an opportunity for both Demko and the Canucks. Helps that I have faith in Demko, otherwise I probably wouldn't have such a positive attitude towards it lol.

This will actually work out well. I'm a Demko believer, and here's his chance to prove it once and for all. If he's not the one, we re-sign Markstrom.

If Demko plays lights out, he's the no. 1 and we try to get a 5th or 6th rounder for Markstrom's rights. Domingue will be re-signed as a capable backup if he fits in well with the group.

 

[ChilliBilly]

So has anything been said about who will back up Demko?

Domingue or Dipietro?

This isn’t a bad way of looking at the off-season.

It has to be Domingue. The best thing for DiPietro is to log big minutes in Utica for the rest of the season.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Jeff Paterson on Twitter implied it may be related to him getting run over in the Minnesota game. I missed that game and I don't know if that's true or not. Seems implausible but also wtf happened then

[Ozone]

Sorry for Marky, but looking extremely forward to seeing what Demko can do over this next month.

Welcome Domingue!!!!

Now, let's get the road trip started with a Demko win on Tuesday.

[M2Beezy]

I guess so

 

[Canucks5551]

Obviously it’s awful news that Markstrom is out, but I’m glad that Benning’s response wasn’t to pick up a backup who would have cost assets.

 

[Emperoreddy]

If you guys can get on the phone to Canucks management, you need to tell them not to start Domingue under any circumstances.

 

[DL44]

Silver lining...

I am absolutely pumped to get this extended look at Demko.

To me... This will determine whether we can let Marky walk or be taken to cleaners by his agent.
Especially excited to see how Demko looks in game #1. How does he step up and take the reigns knowing he's the temp #1 now.
Does he cramp up like our last 'next one'or does he shine and run with it.

Meanwhile - Marky... get well as soon as possible in case we desperately need you back right away.

Domingue - was good enough with good teams in front of him... hopefully we are ok enough for him to be ok enough.

I saw Benning's interview on Facebook earlier and he said that he was never in on a trade for Lehner or anybody else that would have cost them additional assets.

Doesn't even make sense to trade for Lehner when you have a quality back-up in Demko that you desperately need an opportunity to take a long look at anyways.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Can't complain about this trade though. Just added a better goalie for the shittier goalie and it looks like the Devil's just save cash. All in all a relatively fine Nucks deadline giving up Madden, 2nd Schaller, MacIntyre and maybe a 4th for Toffoli and Domingue. Ya that's fine.

devils just recovering all that dough they retained on simmonds.

Exactly, but the media asked, Benning answered, and I figured I'd share it here because it's likely to come up again.

It's awful that Markstrom is out for a month, but we really needed to see Demko in action, and well, here we are.

It's like the worst case scenario is good because it forces the team to do what they should have been doing st the start of the year.

It's like how Stetcher/Tryamkin forced themselves into the lineup only after multiple injuries were sustained.
