Has anyone ever thought of a draft day type trade into the 12-20 range only if askarov falls and then drafting him. I love demko and i want him long term, but if they resign Marky long term then maybe trade Demko and jakey for a mid first and draft askarov. Sign a quality backup this free agency, Then protect Marky at the expansion draft and in the 21/22 season run the tandem of Marky and Askarov. On a side note we also have Dipietro in the pipeline.
Another alternative could be to let marky walk and sign a backup for demko this upcoming season and use some of marky's cap for resignings.
