The Vancouver Canucks are the most injured team in the NHL, and now with Thatcher Demko out at least 2-3 weeks, they are running out of options in goal and will have to resort to a trade.
Demko played a couple nights ago against the Winnipeg Jets, and just didn't look comfortable the whole night.
"However, Friedman did push back on that two-to-three week recovery as mentioned by Frank Seravalli, saying that due to Demko's previous injuries and how tricky those timelines have been, it's hard to say when exactly he could be back between the pipes for the Vancouver Canucks."-Jaxon
Canucks in nightmare goaltender situation.
The Daily Faceoff spoke on the desperation the Canucks are in right now with their goaltending situation, truth be told it's the whole lineup that's in trouble.
After taking almost a week off, Thatcher Demko clearly didn't look right last night vs the Jets. He's now out for at least 2-3 weeks. Will the Canucks look for netminding help via trade?

They spoke on that fact of how slow Demko looked against the Jets, clearly showing that something was wrong. He tried to come back too early and he clearly wasn't ready. It was also discussed if the Canucks would explore options to trade for a goalie, but with their current center situation, it's unlikely they acquire a goaltender at this time. Meaning the Canucks will have to rely on Kevin Lankinen until Demko returns and nobody knows when that will be.
The Canucks made a mistake dealing Silovs away, Demko has had too much injury history for them to trade their only other solid goaltending option and now they are paying the price for it. The Patrick Allvin era has been riddled with mistakes and the Canucks are paying the price for it.
