Yeah...I can't see a world where Demko is doing us any favors moving forward as a reliable (or even semi so) #1 goalie.

Perhaps his best ability for our desired (fan wise at least) "tank and build" is his inability......

....to play that is.

Beating a dead horse here but the goaltending choices this regime has made in the past 12 months leave a lot to be desired.

Add it to the wtf were they thinking poll....

Can’t see Demko being good next season, but I think next season should be another tank year. If they do well in the draft, the season after next Demko can hopefully return to form, and the team can start winning.

There are some dead horses worth beating…..when one cannot beat its former rider.
