  1. Clears up a contract slot. We have Lankinen now so this gives room for Silovs/Tolopilo to share the net in Abby when Demko comes back

  2. Forgot to add second part of tweet that everyone else cleared: PDG, Smith and Wolanin are down in Abbotsford.

    Clip from [Sportsnet](https://x.com/sportsnet650/status/1841567978187587669), Rick Dhaliwal just said Canucks might want to start the season with 3 goalies and also tweeted they might claim one off waivers.

    Goalies on waivers today are Cal Petersen and Spencer Martin.

  3. Dhaliwal just said on D&D that Lankinens agent called the Canucks earlier in the offseason to ask if they wanted to sign his client. The Canucks said no we’re good, and signed Patera.
    Kinda funny now Patera is gone and Lankinen is here.

  4. Unfortunate as he seemed pretty solid in limited sample size but would have been 3rd string in Abby with everyone healthy.

    More sucks about where he’s going.

  5. This is totally fine. Now Silovs and Tolopilo can play in Abby when Demko comes back. Ty Young will probably be the backup in Abby until Demko is healthy

  6. This actually is kinda perfect. Patera was disappointing I thought in pre-season and camp and with Ty Young seemingly sticking around at least for the moment they had too many goaltenders so they clear a contract slot and a logjam positionally.

  7. This is good news. As soon as we signed Lankinen it created a logjam in Abby. Ty Young also performed well and he should be looking to make the jump this year.

    Patera likely wouldn’t have seen NHL action barring catastrophe

  8. Well …. was a fun Summer. 0 goals allowed in all regular season games. Immaculate stat line! We’ll Never forget Canucks legend Jiri Patera
