What do you think of this trade?
good trade…..good luck to SIlovs!
Had to be done. I had a feeling Arty was gonna be traded.
Best of luck in Pittsburgh Arty.
At least we didn't lose Silovs for nothing
So we got nothing….awesome…fire management…sell the team ..trash trade
Incredibly disappointing to lose a goalie with such huge potential. I think having that conveyor belt of good net-minding would be crucial for the team over the next few seasons, given that we don't exactly have great defensive depth. Pittsburgh just got a huge asset that they should train properly if they want to go back to the good ol' days.
Sad panda
This the worst trade to trade Artus silvos from the Vancouver Canucks without Artus silvos the Canucks won’t win the Stanley cup without him in net
This Stillman is not much better than Riley Stillman
Most typical Canuck move ever, tbh. Young prospect, plays amazing in playoff relief, holds the fort to WIN THE CALDER CUP! and we trade him?! We’re now relying on a broken Demko? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it here: Canuck management is terrible! Brutal! And Clay, he wasn’t just “Ok” against Nashville — he was amazing! This won’t age well.
The guy is only 24 years old and has already managed to be the MVP of the World Championship and the AHL. He still has 10–15 years to play. I hope the Penguins make use of his potential.
At least he got traded to a team that is in rebuild that could use him more than us, just in the playoffs. So I like this trade. I looked up Chase, know we have 2 Chase's, but apparently this Chase is related to Cory Stillman, the Stanley Cup Champion. He's a scorer but lacks speed it says. If he can get his speed down. I'm happy with it. We also got a draft pick is which is amazing. With this GM, we might be actually using our picks now.
Horrible trade..again
Penguins got the better of the trade… IMO
Funny we traded for a Stillman … TWICE!
Riley and Chase are brothers!
Fans are going to complain about this but the fact they actually got a return in a market where these types of goalies don't get high value. If they lost him on waivers, the complaining would never end. Pittsburg is good for him on a team that's literally in a rebuilding phase.
Tidy lateral trade
Ya'll realize this was a huge miss step by management right… demko had one year left on his older contract new one kicks in 26-27 season…. they could have waited until after a silovs trade to.sign demko, to keep some leverage. By signing demko super early u signaled to all nhl teams that u have to trade silovs.
its all good as long as pittsbugrh doesnt turn around and flip him to the oilers or sharks.
Demko is one over stretched butterfly move away from a serious and potentially career ending injury. Should have kept Silovs as insurance!
The Canucks were once known as a goalie graveyard. Not anymore. Not for a long time actually. It's one thing the Canucks do well lately. They always seem to find more goalies and while I am disappointed, I'm happy they got something back. All the best in Pittsburgh Arturs!
Oh no 😟
The Canucks didn't get much for Arty. I'm very disappointed in this trade, but it doesn't matter what I think. I just hope it doesn't bite the team down the road.
the past 1.5 yrs has been a total disaster and it just continues
I hope the Oilers trade for Silovs AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! What a terrible trade for the Canucks. How dare this organization trade away their MVP Goaltender who actually won trophies something for them. They’re 100% going to regret this trade.
I think the Latvia year he led them to a massive upset in the Bronze medal game against the US.
Twitter comments
Are hating this trade
Most people are very upset
Stillman dad was a good player, and hopefully, Chase turns into a good player
I believe the Canucks have his brother as well
Chase was a former 1st round pick with NJ
Pittsburgh won this trade and NY won the Miller trade
Rutherford and Alviin need to quit
He’s the brother of foremen Canuck Riley stillman whose now in Edmonton and son of former nhl Cory stillman
Sad but this is whatbis best for Silvos
For all of those fans who are questioning this deal, the real scapegoat in all this, is not management, but Thatcher Demko. Had he stayed healthy, and putting performance aside, just played the whole season for the team, i think that Silovs would be in line to be the backup this year. But the Canucks have decided to roll with him rightly or wrongly, and so needing insurance they signed Lankinen long term, and so dear fans, being waiver eligible Silovs had to go. History will prove who was right, but if Demko is great the rest of the way, i think everyone will forgive and forget this move.
His expected trade value was a 3rd/4th. We basically got a late 3rd because Pittsburgh wont be near the playoffs in 2027 and a possible fringe NHL player thats a former 1st round pick. We did fine.
Still not 100% on Demko staying healthy. But had mixed feelings on Silovs. I don't think of him as being an elite goalie. He might be but his play has been otherwise. Enough to keep you in games if your defense is good. And can't write Stillman off. Still a fairly young guy. I can see Silovs playing in the NHL next season though. I think he had to rebrand himself because of his stint in net for us last year when we had the worst defense for a while. Exposed him badly. Went back and had to learn how to become a goalie again in Abby. I do think it will translate. This could be nothing for either side. I know how our fans over value some of our players.
Doesn’t really bother me, but I would of trade KL before arty. But at least we didn’t lose him for nothing
Bad trade on our end. Silovs trade wont bite us in ass in long run.
What a terrible trade !
