Or 8 players at any position so both can be protected. And by then eriksons contract will be a limited ntc so he could be exposed. This is obviously if Marky or demko don’t get traded by then. good point, that is an option. But it will expose another good player for sure, including any free agents we get this year (assuming no one gets a NMC). Marky Demko Bo Boeser Petey Gaudette Jake Juolevi Hughes wont need protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bad at trades...so don't hold that against me. Reasons: I view BUF having almost all the pieces but need better goaltending and depth. The above should help them push for a playoff spot next year. VAN is a few years away and still needs a few more pieces as well. The added youth (Risto + high draft pick) should help VAN in a few years in much needed positions. The concern is if Demko can handle a split workload or can immediately assume the #1 mantle. That would make space to land Bobrovsky as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully demko turns into the stud everyone hopes and we get something good for Marky. Or if someone absolutely blows our doors off with an offer for demko and Marky is our guy for the foreseeable future. But would hope for the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 4 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: well we can only protect one goalie, and if Marky is the starter for the foreseeable future then its Demko who's out. I've seen several scouting reports and mock drafts with Byram dropping that far. Markstrom’s contract will be over before the expansion draft so we can leave him unprotected and keep Demko.

Markstrom is a UFA next summer so unless Benning only extends him for one additional year which I doubt Marky agrees to then this is not going to work...

c00kies Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 5 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: we could but we have to have at least one available under contract so we'd have to go get another goalie just for that purpose - assuming we didn't go the 8 player route. Yeah, but a lot of teams did that last expansion draft, even we did with Bachman. It doesn't take much to get one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could sign him to a one year contract so we can protect Demko for the draft, and then re-sign him after if DiPietro still needs some seasoning in the AHL.

Vancouver would love to give him a one year deal to see if he can keep up his recent play for a full season. Markstrom could take the chance and prove he's the real deal and get 2M per year. I'm curious to see what Vancouver will do if Demko is exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
