Ghostsof1915 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Markstrom and Nilsson are signed to Spring 2019. Demko is signed to the same period. However Bachman, who is having a brutal year is a UFA at the end of the season. Do the Canucks do the easy thing, sign DiPietro in the offseason and he backs up Demko? Do the Canucks trade either Nilsson or Markstrom in the offseason, bring up Demko, and sign a UFA goalie to Utica? Does everything rely on training camp next year to see how Demko and DiPietro fare? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 run with Marky and Nilsson though to the end of next season. Sign DiPietro and he can back up Demko next year. Bachman isn't needed after this year. If one of Marky or Nilsson are injured or simply sucking then thats Demko's chance to make his debut. I think we're set up quite well.

mll Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 DiPietro cannot play in the AHL next season. He was drafted out of the CHL and wouldn't be eligible yet re his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 As much as I want to see demko every night in blue and green, I think we're likely going to stick with what we have right now for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Comets as a team are pretty brutal. To a prospect as good as Demko - it won't hinder him tooo much. However, you aren't always going to draft goalie prospects as good as Demko. Management has to attempt to stock the AHL club a bit better (if nothing else, to help provide better depth for the parent club in terms of callups).

combover Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Markstrom nillson demko gartig depietro i think demko will be in the nhl next season Gartig will be the comets starter if Dep can’t play in the A he’ll be in jr again. One of nillson or markstrom wil be moved to make room for demko. Thats my take on the goaltending moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I hope to see Demko as Marky's back-up next season. See what the kid can do in the NHL prior to his bridge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few have birthdays in months where they are still 19 at the end of their 4th season. And the small few who actually start CHL careers at 15.
