Gurn Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Demko is not abusing the system, merely following the rules that the system made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I sure hope he signs this year. I think it is important for him to get a year in Utica under his belt before makes the transition to the NHL. (And we're going to need him after Miller is gone) Wasn't it just late last year everyone was saying we couldn't expect to see Demko with the Canucks for another 3-4 years?

Too risky to draft NCAA players This is a VERY interesting point. I wonder if these college guys will fall in the draft because of the RISK that goes with them? I do believe DEMKO signs with us, and plays in UTICA for their playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so you meant potentially he could maybe choose to abuse the system, which still isn't really abusing the system but rather picking the allowable option. Glad we cleared that up.

Like i said a rumour means nothing to me. Cool, so you aren't worried then about something that has a minimal chance of happening I guess - or do you put more stock in a small percentage option than a rumour from a trusted source? I'm just pointing out what is more likely to happen based on what we know. Sure, he could choose to go the UFA route, and maybe he is undecided about that at this point, but it's likely that chance he does so only increases slightly from now to when he could choose to do another year to when he could decide not to sign with the Canucks and test free agency.

Glad we cleared that up. It's finding a loophole that shouldn't be allowed. A team spends a high pick on a player, and he decides not to sign? If Eichel held out for 2 or 3 years then as a free agent signed anywhere he wanted to, do you not think its wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharbinder Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 1 hour ago, DontMessMe said: Maybe this is why Calgary passed up on him? Too risky to draft NCAA players The more likely reason was that they already had a extremely highly regarding NCAA prospect goalie in the system. (Jon Gillies) GM's often diversify the leagues their tender products play in, since it is just a toss of the dice in their development. Also please note, that over the past week FOUR of Demko's core teammate's have signed with their NHL team. The likelihood of them challenging for a national championship next year is getting slimmer & slimmer. (the wild just signed both Adam Gilmour & Alex Tuch, who is a huge loss to their offense. earlier the devils signed both Steve Santini & Miles Wood) they also lost their captain after his 4th year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be worried either way unless there's something to indicate he's not willing to sign with us. The chance that happens does not increase drastically if he wants to stay at BC for another year, it just allows for the possibility vs signing him now. 1 minute ago, ReggieBush said: It's finding a loophole that shouldn't be allowed.

People keep saying loophole, but who says it's not something the NHLPA bargained for? As has been covered in other posts, a junior player could chose to not sign with the team that drafted him, re-enter the draft after two years, then chose not to sign with the new team either. That'd allow him to be a free agent and pick the team he wants just the same as the clause in the CBA that allows college players to do so after completing 4 years of school. And of course overseas players have always been a risk for this, but no one's arguing that those 'loopholes' be closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) It's going to be really fun around here to witness the reaction of some guys who have been freaking out over Demko when it's announced he is signed. Are you going to put down your pitchforks because Benning did good? If, the unlikely outcome of him deciding to not sign with the Canucks happens, I hope to god, and I know you won't think rationally then as you don't now, but I am hoping you realize it has nothing to do with the Canucks or Jim Benning, but rather with Thatcher and his right to determine his own career. Management have done everything to get him signed, and you can only do so much. I hope you voice your outlandish rage in the right direction if the unthinkable happens - which it won't.

The Great 8 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If he does sign with us, I give a ton of credit to Benning for scouting and drafting what seems to be a great goalie prospect in the second round. If we were to have a re-draft I see him as a mid to late 1st round pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even rumours. And, his father tweeted today that the family are huge Ducks fans, as they live in San Diego. Hopefully, he's not waiting to be a UFA to play for them.

Think desi in the Subban thread before he finally got signed. Not much of a payoff for having to endure the craziness all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
