Edit -- moneyhands, if that is indeed the case, well, interesting. But with Demko as the presumed heir apparent, I really wonder what Benning's plan is. I would think they'd try to avoid a Schneider/Luongo situation.

Demko has played 6 games...I wouldn't be giving him the net yet. They might look at it at the end of next year if he proves himself next year and plays well in a tandem with Markstrom, but to trade your vet with a year left on his contract to run with a raw rookie is lunacy
