Regarding the 5 prospects he wants to sign just guessing who the players are; My guess is..... Woo, Madden , Lockwood, Hoglander and Rathbone Podzy won't likely be one as he is still under Russian contract. Any other guesses? woo is signed already so maybe toni utteneon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow 1983 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I really don't think Markstrom is getting signed My reasoning Markstrom going to want more then Benning willing to pay and the truth is good on Benning don't throw it away on a 30 year old goalie stick to your guns Edited January 21, 2020 by Arrow 1983 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year would be an overage year for him in junior if I’m not mistaken, perhaps they think it would serve him best to play pro hockey instead. I’m only throwing Try’s name out there because management has openly said they’re exploring the possibility of bringing him back and maybe Benning just grouped him in with young prospects to avoid saying “a few young prospects plus another sorta young guy whose prospect status is debatable” or something along those lines.

Arrow 1983 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Just as easy to sign a veteran back up and then expose the back up in the expansion draft and run with Demko and DiPietro the season following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair for both sides. That does raise the question of what happens with Demko pre-ED though... Oh well, a problem for another day. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price tag will be to high simply ask yourself how much is he worth 5,6,7,8 Im thinking he is going to want close to 7mill per and benning will want 6. At what point is it to high for you for anyone on this forum, Cause im sure Benning and his team know that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been a great goaltender but he doesn’t have multiple years If being a great goaltender on his resume. He’s never won a vezina and has a below .500 record. These thing will come to play come negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow 1983 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Think like a GM that has Eriksson on his record already. Do you pay a 30 year old goalie 6 mill or 6-7 years when you have Demko and Dipierto in your back pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Markstrom gets resigned, if the worst thing that happens at the ED is the Canucks lose a player in possibly their deepest position....oh well. Going to lose someone, might as well lose someone that you know you can replace immediately with Dipietro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you walk away if he demands 6 and let him try his luck in UFA Cause I'm sure there are at least 5-10 teams that would give him 6-7 with term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not remotely worried. If he's going to insist on something silly like 6 years at $7m, yes I would walk. But I don't think that's remotely going to happen. Just like it didn't happen with Edler, we didn't pay $7x7 for Myers etc, etc. Though I'm sure media around here will harp on, with sheer panic about the deal not getting done or Markstrom wanting some astronomical term/hit...

Arrow 1983 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My believe is if Markstrom re-signs with Van it will only be after July 1st and there is a major ideological shift in GMs think on the goal tending position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could potentially ruin their careers by throwing them in the fire next year. Ya can’t Mess with goalies.
