I just hope he gets healthy and plays good so they can trade him later in the season. He could land a 1st if old Demko returns.

ParticipantHis history would suggest otherwise. Do you think he will fit in with this team? That’s the big question, they want to establish a good culture here. Hopefully you’re right and they miraculously manage to move him off the team. He’s in a good spot to float the rest of his deal out here like Loui Eriksson did regretfully.
I don’t know if he’s liked or not within the room, I just know he’s a strange kid. He’s extremely talented but he needs to be happy internally and to have better offensive players around him than they currently have. I just hope they can move him at some point. I think everyone needs a fresh start.

ParticipantKevin Weekly said there is still question if Demko will be ready for the start of the season
RJ said a month ago that he couldn’t say with confidence that Demko would be ready for camp. I’m assuming it’s a no.
I hope he just goes on injured reserve until his contract expires.

ParticipantSeeing the bigger picture, I hope they play the shit out of him and he finds tremendous success, which would make other teams very interested in acquiring him, possibly giving up a first round pick and no salary retention, a guy can dream.

ParticipantHopefully he gets bumped down to the 2nd line, not that he’d GAF.

ParticipantI was very surprised not to see the Canucks at the top of the list. I think Canucks could be a very tough team, no longer fun to play against team with some of the size and grit they brought in.
The good thing about the state of this team in there will be little to no pressure to win, just play the right way. This should make EP40 happy, he can go out and block shots and get his 50-60 points. All good.
Call me crazy but I think with a clean slate and some of the opinionated clowns out of the mix you’re going to see him at 75 points. He’s seemingly a very sensitive (weird) person so with some of the noise gone, he might find some of his game again.
