stawns Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 7 hours ago, Harvey Spector said: Great point. Jones was a backup to Quick, went undrafted and had only 34 games NHL experience and he went for a first last year. Markstrom is already proven at the NHL level and most teams can see he is ready to be a full time starter with almost 100 games of NHL experience. If Markstrom is put on the trading block a first round pick would be just the starting point in a trade. The only negative is he is UFA in a year so that may affect his value. But if Benning can sign him to a long term deal in the summer then his trade value will sky rocket. Yeah, they are absolutely not trading Markstrom in the next 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then where does Demko fit in, and is that why he's not signing - he can see there is no future for him here? I think we sign him, so what happens with Markstrom? Uggg. Are you being serious about not trading Markstrom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko if he signs, is still 2 years away at least. Same trajectory as Shnieds. Markstrom should get his chance. If he plays lights out we have two elite goalies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenman92 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 As good as Demko is, I'd be hesitant to fast track him to the NHL with the defence of the Canucks play. Any young goalie will have their struggles and they will be multiplied with way Vancouver plays in their own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Markstrom playing as well as he is Demko may not want to come here if he doesnt for sure see him being the go to guy. Markstrom to florida for the remainder of Luongos contract?

I do believe Alf has stated often that Demko is signing, and soon. All any team can offer him is a fair chance to compete for the number one job. JB has stated publicly that if a young player earns a spot, he will make room for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the fact that people are suggesting we trade Markstrom to make room for Demko, tells me that Demko won't sign unless given an incentive to do so, that being a potential roster spot. Which is ridiculous. Edited April 18, 2016 by Qwags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJSkingz Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 People just need to take a chill pill and relax. I know it is the off season for the Canucks but there is still good playoff hockey being played. The weather is also extremely nice right now. Get outside and be active. Take a breath and let some time pass. When Demko makes a decision THEN we can start discussing that decision. Nothing we can do now but give yourself worry lines or more grey hairs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
