TheRussianRocket. Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 @NEWS1130Sports: The #Canucks are now in talks with Jacob Markstrom about a long term deal. Odd, really odd. Hasn't showed us he's capable of being a NHLer let alone deserving of a long term deal. There's 1 of 2 possibilities here: sign him 4+ years under $2m. He either develops and you get a steal of a deal or he doesn't and you're stuck and have to dump him somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberries Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Guessing it's under 4 million because they don't want 10 million tied on goalies. 5 years @ 2 million per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChwkCanux Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Guessing it's under 4 million because they don't want 10 million tied on goalies. 5 years @ 2 million per. Oh God no, his NHL numbers have been atrocious. There have been plenty of netminders who have played really well in the AHL and, for whatever reason, not been able to make it work at the NHL level. There is no guarantee Markstrom won't fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Be good on Twitter and the fans will love you, backup or not. Ill timed jokes help as well, regardless of how you perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Phaneuf Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I wouldn't give him anything more than a 2 yr deal @ 1.5 M per season. Markstrom is still an AHLer. You don't give players like him a long-term deal. He hasn't proven anything at the NHL level. The team has leverage, not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 For what reason would they even think about a long term deal with Markstrom? He has yet to put up even decent numbers in the NHL. I think until he does show that he can play as a good back up that he should be getting 1 or 2 year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 3 years below 2 mil per. Same with Baertschi I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-SN- Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I really don't like this. You can't give a long term deal to a guy who hasn't proved he can play at an NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has no problem giving long term deals to AHL'ers Look at the Sbisa deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Benning should give him a 12 year deal. This management group is pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's for league minimum. I hope by long term they mean 2 years at the absolute most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
