vladimirpuck Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Anyone think Thatcher Demko will be playing with the big club in a couple of years? Him and Markstrom, goaltending will not be a problem once Miller leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stammer- Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 3-4 years he might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He has to finish college and then probably play in the AHL for a year or two, so it will be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.53 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This will most likely get locked but not for a while. He still has 2 more years in college. Which fits perfectly in line with Ryan Miller whose contract also ends in 2 years. After that, he will most likely, as William Clarkson said, play a year or two in the AHL, unless he REALLY impresses in college. Which honestly, he's doing pretty well and improving every day. 2 years minimum, but I would say, expect 3-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He'll probably sign with another team as a UFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer. Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 look at my signature... If I got drafted by Pittsburgh or Detroit, I'd still wear Canucks gear in my spare time. He's allowed to like other teams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumerman77 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Demko exploited the NCAA loophole and signed with a different team especially if Markstrom plays himself into a starter. It will be interest to see if Benning tries to trade Demko if Markstrom proves himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Demko is a bit overrated IMO. If you watched the WJC when they played Russia, he let in at least 3 bad goals, and looked shaky and nervous. At this point he isnt even close to where Schneider was in his development. He will be a solid backup, not starter material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We will invest many years into grooming him to become a potential starter, then we will trade him for peanuts after we finish signing an aging goaltender to a bloated contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We'll develop him into a solid goalie who shows a lot of promise then trade him as soon as he starts outplaying our veteran goaltender whoever that may be when this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Getting very ahead of ourselves. Hes a good prospect but he isnt anywhere close to a sure thing at this point look at my signature... LOL burn on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 look at my signature... If anything, it means he has no allegiance to anyone and just wears a hat for whatever city he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nobody else watched the WJC, in particular the Russia game? Does this not make you worried that in every big game he is in, he looks shaky? I guess we got too many people looking at stats or draft expert hype.

jdatb Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I don't expect a lot out of Markstrom, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Demko as our starter in 3-4 years. Out of necessity, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Demkos is probably why Canucks are keeping Miller for another few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He should turn pro in 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Demkos is probably why Canucks are keeping Miller for another few years. What? They won't even cross paths and he won't be moving to the NHL when miller is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
