-AJ- Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Based on his career numbers, he should be a pretty good backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I am thinking they will want to move one of their goalies though as the crease is getting crowded between Abby and the Canucks. DeSmith might be just travelling through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinkle a lil Ian Clarke on him and he could be an excellent back-up. Could be perfect to flip him and let Silovs come up next season! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 As long as he is a former dirtbag who can stop pucks. His rise from the ECHL to the NHL is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHL could get a bit crowded if Tolopilo is good enough for the AHL. That said, I think if he can start in Kalamazoo, that will be good experience for him.

You forgot that Tolopilo is in the mix for an AHL spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they want to offer us a 1st for DeSmith I think it makes a lot more sense to keep him and roll with 3 goalies in Abbotsford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmith maybe a add in for trading a winger. It would help if we had someCap Spacestarting the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DeSmith lands the backup job in Van then Martin would likely be put on Waivers and Tolopilo would be the backup to Silovs in Abby and Sawchenko would probably be going to Kalamazoo.

Mackcanuck Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) DeSmith is De-Man! 2 starts, 2 wins Casey DeSmith was fantastic tonight, especially in the third period. Tocchet spoke earlier today about the team needing to trust their backup goalie, and so far, there’s been no reason for the Canucks not to trust DeSmith to man their crease. DeSmith stopped 34-of-36 shots in a 5-3 win over Florida on Saturday. DeSmith has been a great addition to the Orca lineup. He's won both of his starts and is 2-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .938 save percentage. Edited October 22, 2023 by Mackcanuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
