We'll hold off on that until the morning of the Frozen 4 final so that Demko will not be well rested, focused and in the end loose. Then he will stay in school for another year so he can win BC the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 There is no need to bother him during his current run with BC. Once his season is over let a day or two pass, then give the guy a 1st class ticket for himself , his family and agent. Tour them around Vancouver. Get a Contract signed, Then 1st class to Utica to practice and maybe see some ice this year with the Comets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exclusive negotiating window isn't a big factor because it's not long enough where the player isn't better off to just let that window pass and become a ufa. I disagree....I doubt you went to college...There is alot of pride and desire to perform well for your school, especially if you are an elite athlete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually turned down my dream for another year of bus rides, dining hall food and homework. Pretty nuts, huh? When I officially announced my decision, everyone — and I mean everyone — seemed to have a comment. Some people thought I must have been doing it to hold out for free agency this summer, while some people couldn’t fathom the fact that I was going back at all. How bad could I really want to be a hockey player if I was choosing to go back to school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz, do you know if there is a financial incentive for Demko to sign after this weekend, so he can burn a full year off his ELC before this season ends?

That's my point though. Before he decided to test free agency, vesey was all about school saying there was no ulterior motive to test free agency, Until vesey was proven a liar you would have been right there believing him about him being all about school only. I'm not saying he does't love school because he does and that is true, however that's the side benefit of his true goal of free agency. My argument isn't about demko specifically, since he hasn't made any comments about signing a contract or anything yet. I'm talking more in general and what's logically the smart move. Once a player decides to go back for his senior year, they only have to wait a few months after their season ends to hit free agency. At that point there's 0 downside to waiting to be a ufa. You get to talk to 29 other teams, while also having the option to sign with the original team that drafted you. This is why I don't understand David Poile's reasoning about there being no financial benefit to becoming a free agent since everyone can pay you the same, so there's no leverage to use. He's underselling the fact that getting to decide where you get to work and live now instead of waiting 7 years is worth more to a person than signing now. If you've already done 3 years of college and decide to go back for your senior year, then playing out the final year and becoming a free agent is the smartest and most logical move to me at least. There's just no downside to it. I don't think this loophole is a huge deal because most elite college players like eichel, etc will never get to that point because they will always leave school early to go pro and start playing in the nhl early and collecting an nhl paycheque. This loophole only gets used a handful of times for non first rounders and late bloomers normally, so it's not like it's something that is routinely exploited. Plus, if it does happen to a first rounder, you get a compensatory pick in return. Vesey is a 3rd rounder though, so the preds get nothing.
