Do the Vancouver Canucks look to move a goaltender?

Stephan Roget of the Canucks Army: Next season the Vancouver Canucks have Thatcher Demko ($5,000,000), Kevin Lankinen ($4,500,000), and Arturs Silovs ($850,000) under contract. Silovs is no longer waiver exempt and he’d get claimed if he were placed on waivers in the fall.

The UFA market is a little thin this offseason, and maybe a few are available in trade. Losing Silovs to waivers wouldn’t be good asset management after six years of development.

Carrying three goalies is an option, but a trade of someone seems more likely. The Canucks should able to get some draft pick(s) for Silovs if they decide he’s the one they want to move. They could look to trade Lankinen, but they just signed him to an extension this season.
