Silovs is trying, bless his heart. If you’re young and hear your name chanted like a hero, you think a seismic change occurred. Just locking up backup on a basic one way deal is big enough.

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

when's silovs gona sign? come on arty sign already - they gotta sign that kid

[@SuperHeadwound]

Having a division winner from the previous year as 9th or 10 is a crazy take.

[@shanevanc]

Silov has more playoff experience than Demko including a shutout. Letting a guy with playoff ready poise go would most likely come back to bite.

[@liamskeo1768]

series clinching shutout

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

With so many teams cap strapped, nobody wants to be the clown to start an offer sheet war, because of stones and glass houses. People remember what happened when Montreal GM Bergevin got mocked and abused for his offer sheet against Carolina and the resulting retaliation.

[@kylecabott1075]

Silovs has some pull after stepping in during the playoffs.

[@robsamuel1782]

Should have kept DeSmith

[@bryanbest5113]

Agree on 3rd or less to move pullman contract. Only if organizational commitment to not moving 1st or 2nd this draft. 2011 cup contender era moved all those 1/2 picks. End up in prospect desert.

[@jax1580]

Silovs overperformed a tad in the playoffs. Prior to that I was thinking he needed another year in the AHL before he was ready. He shouldn't be thinking he gets the bag at this point in his career. Take an entry level deal and prove your worth over a full season.

[@omfg322]

Why would poolman contract be a problem if hes going on ltir anyway? Unless hes ready to play

[@tokki2490]

it means he wants more then what we have left in cap. and we can only use the ltir during season

[@jacksonjacob7791]

He talks about it around the 8 minute mark.

[@DATshockey]

@@tokki2490no it means they are trying to avoid going into LTIR so that they can accrue cap space over the season and take advantage at the deadline. Something they haven’t been able to do because of the pool man contract (and the other various cap mismanagement)

[@mikepette4422]

I don't get the Silovs fan club. Am I the only one that saw the flaws ? Did people not see how bad he was on shots from the point ?

[@robsamuel1782]

Yes he had holes from fairly easy point shots.

[@MelDorey]

You dont have Kuzmenko

[@richardchang2332]

Canucks passed on drafting Bourque!

[@Roof_Pizza]

Silovs didn't get paid in the playoffs.

[@asaraphym802]

Should sell high on silovs and trade him for a high draft pick

[@asaraphym802]

If demko is our guy and will continue to be for years to come then sell now when people need goalies and just come off a run that shows he can hang

[@user-ji3il6ce2o]

They need to trade him for a puck moving Dman that can play in the bottom 4, not a draft pick

[@shanegleeson5823]

​@@asaraphym802 Demko is injured often. He could be again. Silovs can play in big games, you don't lose that for 1.5m

[@christhornycroft3686]

@@user-ji3il6ce2o And replace him with who?

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

I would trade demko

[@TheLivewire18]

With all do respect… this Patrick Johnson guy NEVER adds any actual substance to the show. Frank Seravelli might be a heel, but at least he brings something interesting or unique

[@callummackenzie6160]

What aboot Tolopilo

[@benjaminaxselholm]

Arguably just as much potential as Silovs

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

why settle for tolopilovs when u already got silovs in the bag (*but then ew guy i'm wonderin' about is pantera

[@benjaminaxselholm]

@@wuhaninstituteofvirology not sure if you follow the Abbotsford canucks but Tolopilo was outplaying Silovs down there.

[@user-pl8ij9et9w]

Trade Demko or podkolzon or Hoglander? sighed slisov

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

Too much talk about your stupid golfing ad. Do you think we really came to hear you talk about that?

[@SekeresPrice]

You realize you can skip ahead, right?

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

@@SekeresPrice Of course I do, but your vacuous banter makes me not want to.

[@wcjohnny1]

Hate to be pessimistic but ... none of this matters . Canucks will never win the cup ... never ever . :(

Thanks for all that Dog The Bounty Hunter!
