Knucklehd Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Nice! Would interesting to know how much. 3 years seems a little short, but not bad. I guess they expect Demko to be ready, or almost ready to step in at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Good term, good amount. Markstrom could be an absolute steal at that price in a season or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckFan1123 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Pretty good extension. 3 years gives Demko enough time to show what he's made of and Markstrom time to prove he can be a capable starter. The money is not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 He may be the cheapest number one goalie in the NHL next season...good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I was thinking he'd be a $2M backup to Miller but he's pretty much right at sharing starts rather than backing up at this stage. If anything, once Miller's contract is done then we have a decent starter with potential to be better at just a tad over $3.5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
