InGoal media’s Kevin Woodley joins the show again to offer up his insight. Kevin gives his thoughts on the career trajectory for Silovs, the Demko-Lankinen crease, and whether the goaltending Canucks prospects are still in good shape for years to come.

It means the Canucks didn’t lose him on waivers for nothing.
Surely this fairly mundane minor trade involving their 3rd string goaltender will not divide fans.
Imagine if he went to waivers and oilers picked him up. Fans would run JR out of town. Best to get something for him.
I think the Pens got a very good goalie.
Somewhat surreal that a goalie who played a pivotal role in helping his country(Latvia) win their first ever medal(bronze) at the IIHF hockey championship, played the majority of games for the Canucks in their post season that nearly saw the franchise make the Conference Finals after falling 3-2 in game 7, and put the cherry atop the cake this past season as the starting netminder that saw the baby Canucks win their first ever Calder Cup in the AHL Championship, suddenly find himself odd man out and dealt to a franchise in rebuilding mode.
Unreliable as a backup, inconsistent in regular season games, but a young lad whose tunnelvision and focus amplified exponentially when the games were of significant consequence.
A hero for the franchise twice over, but sold for a 4th round draft pick and an unknown commodity 4th line center seems an odd and sadly inappropriate exit for a player who was a primary variable in providing such excitement and joy in this little Metropolis by the Sea.
All the best kid in your quest for a full time job in the best hockey league in the world, and lastly, Thank you for your service. ❤
Kevin is the best!
Im ok with him going to Pens, be worse if he was traded to the same division.
Chase Stillman, is he really a prospect. Same age as Aatu Raty. Stillman stats are bottom 6 in AHL – 119 games, 36 points and -21. Raty AHL – 169 games, 119 points and +14. Raty has played 48 games NHL between Islanders and Canucks. Stillman, was drafted by a non playoff team and did not play on a single game. Won’t hold breath on a 4th round draft pick. In the end we get a bottom 6 AHL forward and a ?
Wonder how Manny Malholtra feels about this trade. This could end up being like the Rick Vaive trade or the Cam Neely trade.
You guys are missing the most important aspect of this trade, and that is…
Has Silovs given an interview to Price yet, and if not why TF not? Doesn’t he know who he is???
At least Arty won't be able to perform his way out of Canucks lore.
The legend of the ARTY PARTY is intact for eternity
Here's hoping that Pittsburgh has a crappy season for tha 4th round pick in 2027(?).
Stillman is there for contact spots, Pens didn’t want him and made it contract spot neutral trade.
Arturs Silovs party is over 🥳 Terrible trade, cant believe Management didnt get more. Pittsburgh are the winners 🏆 hands down. With Crosby at the helm, Silovs will show the Canucks they made a mistake. Silvos reminds me of Marc-André Fleury very energetic always engaged in the game, an exciting goalie. I remember v. Oilers game in game 7 he rushed out almost to the blue line to make a play ▶️ he's got style. Another mismanagement of assets by Canucks. Silovs won Calder cup 🏆 Won in Worlds 🌎 with Latvia 🇱🇻 Only a 4th round for Arturs?? Stillman was picked in 22 during Covid times, his play declining… great 👍 job Vancouver….mushy middle again …. Hughes is gone to join his brothers in Jersey
I got to Artur in game 5 against Edmonton and it was magic. Im glad he is going to have an opportunity even though its another team I wish him the very best.
This show just makes rumors up . I feel bad for their guest
If demko or demko + assets couldn’t get us a 2C on the trade market and he’s now worth $8.5M. Does that mean most 2C’s are worth over $8.5M to our front office? Just trying to understand their math here
Lankinen has a high floor, low ceiling. Silovs has a lower floor but a much higher ceiling. And a much smaller cap hit. Of course we trade the homegrown kid who stole game after game in the Calder cup final run. Lanks or demko should’ve been gone. But I guess this organization likes having no cap flexibility 🤷🏻♂️
So, what the Sam Hill is going on with Jiri Patera?
All the best to Arturs! He'll be in our hearts forever, dragging the first ever championship cup to the Canucks organization. I hope he flourishes with The Penguins !!
This is the second worse trade in Canuck history. For me the one I want got is Allvin after this and handing Petey the keys to the bank handcuffed this team moving forward.
I'm about 95% sure the Silvos trade will come back and bite us in the
a$$ , we'll see I guess.
