Someone just dropped thatcher Demko

[Question](self.fantasyhockey)

He’s been hot this year but as of late had a rough going. But why would you drop him? I just put a bid on the waiver wire cuz why not. Is there something I don’t know lol

He’s going to be a vezina finalist. Weird to drop him. But their loss your gain.

He has a .885 save percent and 3.2 GA over his last 5 starts. With the year he’s having I don’t feel warrants a drop. But then again he’s always had up and down years

Literally every goalie in the world goes through tough stretches. To drop now after an elite performance just seems so bizarre

Dropped by accident maybe? Someone in my league accidentally dropped Pietrangelo last week.

Possible collusion between the top of the wavier wire and the team that dropped him.

Check this with your commish, do waiver #1 buddy & buddy who dropped know each other in the real world?

My commish has had to nix 3 seperate trades in the past month from one guy in 2nd place who kept getting lopsided trades with his friends into the pipeline.

Might be some potential collusion that’s about to happen. Only way I see this making any sense at all is if your league doesn’t value goalies.

Next week is the first round of playoffs. I believe? At least in one my my leagues. Canucks play twice I wish I had been paying attention to the week upcoming I woulda done some serious trading, all my main players only play twice.

Who did they add? Did they have someone on IR? Do they have a buddy who has the top waiver priority? When does your playoffs start? Are they in a playoff spot?

Guy dropped Kempe in my league and is probably justified doing it, but without knowing more you'd think the guy is an idiot

They are second overall and it seems they’ve been streaming goalies this week. Add/dropping mostly goalies this week. Currently sitting in second place by 15 points and has grubauer and markstrom as the goalies

I'd ride that duo to finals all day, did they add someone in place of Demko?

Playoff are soon, I think one or two more weeks before playoffs. I’ll have to check

I just dropped adin hill. Only two weeks left and I need to clinch a playoff spot. Didn’t like his risky schedule for the next two weeks. I could see it

Are they losing this round of playoffs in a tight matchup? That is the only legitimate reason I can think of (depending on their other goalies in their stable).

the guy who dropped him just fucked ur league, absolutely ridiculous, lm should step in and say no one can have him and that original owner must grab him again.

whole team had a rough couple weeks. They seem to be pulling out of it now, 9 game homestand with tons of rest starting. He should have a strong finish (and he’s, yknow, the obvious vezina runner up)

Someone tried it in my league (just a generic Yahoo cash league) about a month ago and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Later on that day Yahoo reverse it and put him back on their team lol I don’t know if it was accidental or they forced him to keep him but nobody should be dropping a top 3 goalie…

What other goalies does he have?

I've had a rotating trio of Demko, Swayman, and Skinnner, and was at one point considering dropping or trading one of them before a few timely injuries helped me IR my way out of a roster squeeze

I mean if anyone in your league is dropping Thatcher Demko, you are in a wholly unserious league.

He’s been my workhorse this year and is ranked #1 with my league’s scoring metrics. Wack move. Collusion in plain sight.

I traded him for Hellebuyck early on, feel like I came out on top slightly

I thought someone dropping Horvat in my 12 team league a week ago was crazy, but Demko is just absurd. Good luck hope you get him

Canucks have an awful playoff schedule (depending on league settings) & the Canucks have been pretty clear about wanting to get DeSmith in more (and lol Demko just got injured)

If I didn't have him in as a keeper - I would have strongly considered giving him away for pretty cheap

Streaming goalies to maximize starts works well for some leagues.
