It was announced that the Canucks' GM, Patrik Allvin, wasn't on the market for a goaltender, but he would move if the price was right.
If we read between the lines, the Canucks aren't ringing every GM's phone, but if a goaltender were to become available and in the Canucks' price range, they'd pull the trigger.
The Canucks shopping for a masked man announces two things:
1. Thatcher Demko will most likely be out for a longer time than the original 6 weeks;
2. Canucks don't have enough fate in Spencer Martin to give him every start until Demko's return.
Let it be reminded that Martin allowed 4 goals on 8 shots in Monday's game against the Canadiens.
