higgyfan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 why did you reply here then?does Marky get the torch in two seasons, or does it pass him by and go to Demko?Imo, we haven't seen enough of Marky to crown him a #1 anytime soon. I hope he can make the leap before Miller's contract runs out though. Demko will be a while yet. He will likely need some time in Utica to learn the pro game and there's no guarantee he will be a #1 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In two years he might be better than Markstrom, if he's not already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I say ride the hot hand, Miller's not getting it done like he did early in the season. Let Markstrom play against MTL if wins let him play if not go back to Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Markstrom play against MTL if wins let him play if not go back to Miller.the game is in Montreal. That's got to be a start Miller will want. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start.

Zuongo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Miller has been the best player all season.Try again, dramaqueennot 'all' season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 srsly?seriously. This kid just might be the one. Marky is a stop gap. Is he any better than Lack? If the Canucks offered Marky and Demko in trade, which would get the better return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHoneyBadger Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Haha, the best player on our team this season and you want to replace him? A mod should disable your ability to start threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'd say Hansen's been our best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 seriously. This kid just might be the one. Marky is a stop gap. Is he any better than Lack? If the Canucks offered Marky and Demko in trade, which would get the better return? yeah. k. The "kid" is 19 years old, with a season as a starter in college under his belt, and 10 impressive games this year.What that equals is a 19 year old goaltender, that's played well against teams/competition that might have an NHLer or two down the road playing for them. Decent level of competition, but not the AHL and certainly not the NHL. How many goaltenders step into the NHL at age 19?You might want to cool your Alpo before crowning him better than Markstrom, who has 5 years of valuable (particularly for a goaltender) experience on him and no shortage of potential himself. Who gets a better return is a weak strawman sidetrack. Calling Markstrom a "stop gap" is nonsense - and presumes to know his ceiling. Whether Markstrom or Demko emerge as starters in the NHL is not known at this point - claiming Demko is already better is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I say ride the hot hand, Miller's not getting it done like he did early in the season. Let Markstrom play against MTL if wins let him play if not go back to Miller.Yes if Mark wins play him again...Miller needs a break from all this. He can come back fresh for our homestand.

bd71 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 so you're saying Marky would get more in trade than Demko?Since Demko is a 19 year old junior I'd say so. If he decides to play his senior season he is going to be 21 years old and four months when he finishes. Pretty young and he could easily decide to go the UFA route. The problem with Demko is there are no guarantees you can sign him because he is so young. It's not like he will be 24 like Brandon Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Markstrom had a decent effort keep him in there for Wpg..let Miller get over the shellshock and he can come back strong for the Christmas break He looked so pissed after some of those losses..
