Just sayin' if i was demko, thats what I would do, burn a year of elc right away, get a feel for the A, see the pace so he knows what to train for over the summer and be way ahead of the game come next fall. that would be best for his development as an athlete.

Though, unless we draft Laine and sign Lucic, I just don't see how Jake goes back. He brings too much speed, tenacity, and strength to our lineup to send him back. Depends on his summer and how consistent virt can be next year but I could see Virt and Burr split time in Utica and 3rd line here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link: This isn't a pro contract or anything either so it doesn't affect his NCAA status one way or the other, before anyone asks.

This was EXACTLY Dylan Larkin's path, isn't it? Played at 2015 world's. Joined the A team for a series against the Comets. Then signed with the Wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined the A team for a series against the Comets. Then signed with the Wings. Yes Larkin finished up his college year last year and then went on to play at the 2015 World Championships for USA. After that tournament ended on May 17 he went on to sign his pro contract with Detroit a few days later and went to play for their farm team. He scored against Utica and Markstrom when they played each other. If Demko is gonna play at the World's then he's most likely not going to sign until he gets back, if he signs. Unless he signs in the next week or two. The World Championships are in Russia and start on May 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silky mitts Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Don't try to downplay it if he doesn't sign with us. That's an elite prospect we lose which would really suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 This really isn't starting to look good.....maybe Demko feels he is NHL ready and unless Miller/Markstrom are shipped off, he's not going to Utica? I'd trade both goalies to give Demko a spot - he's that good (or will be in a couple years).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many tenders make that jump Grimm ncaa to NHL without going down in flames. I'm sure Demko knows he's destined for a couple of years in the A, regardless of which team he ends up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning a championship was a big goal of his and he probably wants to take the time to reflect on his season properly and go from there. Unlike fans these players aren't going to rush big decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
