the grinder Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Yung1 said: Looking at our prospect pool, I feel like we can afford to trade a defenseman and/or a winger not named Rathbone or Podkolzin for a Top 6 player. Honestly, if the player we're getting back is a legit top-6 27 or younger and not a rental, I'd be fine with parting with Podkolzin as well. I expect a few to disagree but with Hughes, Petey, Boeser, and Bo on ELC's/ reasonable contracts, we should be pushing to open our cup window now. I think Benning realizes that. you mean go for the cup this year? sorry we are just not quite there yet . but in 2 years time , oh ya we will be. We will have podi being on elc and other supporting players on elc or value contracts rounding into form like hoglander Rathbone madden and others .Then add guys that are being seasoned in Utica like teves rafferty lind gadjovich big mac Di pierto plus add in this year draft pool .In two years time we will definitely have a large window for several runs at the cup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupIsComing Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Marky... regardless of term he doesn't sign for less than $5M per year; regardless of money he doesn't sign for less then a 5 year term. I am happy to have him stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still all of this season and next to play and to worry about Seattle, a lot of things can happen between now and then. You have to wonder whats in the works for another "top 6" winger trade.... if not another 1st round pick then someone we picked in the 1st round must be on the table. It would most likely be a prospect or two and a roster player to balance out the salary. I could see one of our defencemen being moved in order to get a forward. Stecher is a candidate on the active roster. Not sure who Benning would have in mind prospect wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think with Demko's most recent concussion it is imperative we sign Marky to a long term deal. He's a proven #1 goalie in this league. If Demko is lights out next year then a decision will have to be made. But at this point Demko has not even proven he's a bonafide starter in the NHL yet, so signing Marky long term makes total sense. As Benning stated there is lots of time to figure it all out. Also depends on DiPietro's development. If he shows by end of next year he can play in the big leagues then moving Demko becomes a lot easier. I don't like the fact that Demko is getting concussions in practice. It could derail his career. Signing Marky long term is an absolute must now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 OP, this isn’t on you but whoever wrote that article for The Score did so in a very misleading way. They talk about both top 6 winger and Demko in one paragraph and then quote Jim as saying “Yes, we’re definitely interested” when he’s clearly only talking about Demko. No way in hell we’re getting another top 6 winger this season, quote me on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Well, maybe we can stop the trade Marky threads now :D I love that GMJB is basically throwing his hat into the buyer's ring months before the deadline!

Fred65 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 As I recall and please correct me if I'm wrong in the expansion you must include players with NTC in your list. Lou Ericksson for instance. So what will determine the who goes and who stay in the next contract. Markstrom is UFA this summer and Demko RFA the following year. IF DiPietro has made strides I don't like the look of Demko's chnaces. I think you can only loose one player ( ? ) in the expansion That would protect other prospects. Markstrom I would think will be active until he's 34/35. Set the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 With all the worry about losing one of our goalies, has anyone bothered to look at which goalies other teams will have to expose? Might save us all a bit of worry to take a look, or maybe just confirm our worst fears? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this will do, is make it so that he is not eligible for the expansion draft (doesn't have a contract for 20/21 with any team). This gives the team one more year to evaluate Demko long term, and only have to protect 1 goalie in the draft. Then give Marky a 3-4 year deal, if he maintains his last year's numbers through this, and next season. That's what I was thinking....offer him$11M if there's room. Sign him again the year after.

VancouveriteinSanDiego2 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So what team would be interested in Demko, and what top six would they trade for him? Taylor Hall is a rental and if it isn't a sign and trade then I don't think it's.worth it. So who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
