You don't protect a 31 yr old goalie (at the time), who as good as he's been recently is no Carey Price. Demko has the potential to be a future star, will only be 24/25. It would be absurd to leave him unprotected 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One will likely be moved to shore up a position (D? Top 6 W?) where we can more readily protect a guy (and conversely the trading team needs a goalie/has too many of another player).

There's basically zero chance he's signing a short term deal to help us with the ED at the expense of his financial security. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky is just holding the starters spot until Demko is fully ready for the starters job. He’s been more than solid in that role but he won’t be a huge loss if Seattle takes him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't tend to extract full value in trade but there's team's every year lacking bonafide starters and one's facing injury to theirs. Still beats losing him for nothing.

The Lock Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just now, aGENT said: What does the waiver wire have to do with legit starters? They don't get placed on waivers. I guess I am of the mentality that it gets pretty blurry at times between what a starter is and what isn't. Take McElhinney for example. He ended up excellent in the playoffs as a backup and he kept being placed on waivers. I guess I'm also of the mentality of "wait and see" with Markstrom. He had a good season last year, which is encouraging. The question now is can he keep that up? We'll find out next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman64 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 At the end of the day i think some of us should remember this if we think being a GM is as easy at it looks from the outside.. so even though he's made mistakes at least benning has us in the right direction that we even get to talk about this, having enough good players to protect but stocking the farm too since we're keeping picks for a change instead of yester years "trade picks" for a win now in exchange for the future that's been going on too much for years in the history of this franchise. At least it's fun thinking we might actually have a shot at the big dance if things go right without selling the farm and it keep going and producing depth support for the core. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,Demko is the one to keep,cheaper and I think will be a better goalie long term...play Markstrom and hope he has a good year and trade him and Tanev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
