Hopefully, he's not waiting to be a UFA to play for them. That would certainly be weird considering the Ducks have such a young tandem in Andersen and Gibson, who at this point look like legit NHL starters (they won the Jennings Trophy this year). If Demko would really like to play for a team in his home state, the King's would seem to be a better fit for him. They have no other comparable goalie prospects and there's the chance to develop under Quick, a guy who's won 2 cups, a Conn Smyth and a Olympian. Honestly not at all stressed about whether he signs or not. If he does, awesome, end of story. If he doesn't, then we recoup a pick and Benning gets a chance to flex his awesome draft muscles. I'd just prefer Demko announce his decision sooner rather than later in order to give management a chance to go after Michael Garteig.

I'm pretty confident he is going to sign but will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that jersey will have his number and the name will be JUDAS. This deserves so much more recognition, actually laughed out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Ducks have two NHL goalies 26 or under. Gibson and Andersen They really don't need Demko, probably the last place he should go out of all 30 teams. They probably are set for the next decade for goaltending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said we "recoup a pick" if he doesn't sign with us. How does that work and where/when would that pick be? If that is true, then drafting someone from the NCAA isn't the risk that others have been describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did it would be the first pick in the 3rd round since he was drafted in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Pitchforks set aside, and rose bouquets in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the kid doesn't walk, but nothing I've seen in the last few weeks seems to indicate he's inclined to sign here. Hopefully Benning can get something for the asset in the event that he decides to finish out his senior year. If it becomes obvious he's going to exploit the loophole, does he hold any value as a tradeable asset? A 7th at best. Demko will sign here, I can feel it now. He's coming. Demko, McCann, Virtanen, Stecher, maybe Caggiula. Utica will be the favourites next year. We'll have one hell of a stacked farm team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd rather it be them playing a countdown to delay the announcement of a signing for dramatic effect? It's nothing, at least nothing relevant to us signing Demko.

But seriously, we're so far away from that people won't survive waiting a year if they get themselves worked up about it now.
