Patel Bure Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) People aren’t going to like this proposal for obvious reasons, but the truth of the matter is that 1) the Canucks will need to add in a sweetener if they intend to move Eriksson. 2) the Canucks will inevitably have to choose between Markstrom and Demko. 3) There is no guarantee that Eriksson retires after this season even after collecting his bonus. The Senators get their goalie of the future (Sens have some goalie prospects but Demko is significantly better), while the Canucks rid themselves of the Eriksson contract which would allow them to comfortably re-sign all of Tanev, Markstrom, and Virtanen. Anderson will be off the books at the end of the season.

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nice suggestion. How 'bout they add Colin White, & we add Gaudette? (they need to retain on Andy, prob to shoehorn this deal) After buying out White(June 2021 perhaps), you're whacking 10,000,000 off the 2021-22 cap!!! edit: It actually almost fits now, cap-wise. But we should add one more redundant contract, like Baer to make this worthwhile Edited February 8, 2020 by Nuxfanabroad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) why do you think the nucks have to choose between demko and marky? they can use a top tier tandem do you know how many goalies will be exposed for the expansion draft? every team has to expose 1 - so that is 30 there will be so many quality goalies exposed how many do you really think seattle will be taking? i'm thinking 3 2 established goalies and 1 prospect vegas took how many? 5 or 6? and they got nothing for them they had very little trade value seattle will be looking more to draft extra dmen that they can then flip in trades Edited February 9, 2020 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) So if Marky gets injured you are ok with DiPietro for the rest of the season? I'm not. I'm not so sure about your thinking Anderson would be an adequate backup. Edited February 9, 2020 by Ghostsof1915 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just now, Drakrami said: Because we dont have cap of 9-10mil to afford 2 good goalies? you are silly the team is in a good cap position to resign it's goalies the cap is increasing every year most teams pay 10% of the cap for their goalie position by the time demko is up salary cap will be 85 to 90 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Soldier Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Or you just trade a goalie for a pick or a good prospect and not do something silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Demko is currently 44th in goalies in terms of wins. 38th in terms of Save %. 46th in terms of GAA. Not sure if he's on the list of top available goalies at least at this point right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy money playing on a team that is now winning & looking to be playoff bound. Would be different if we were in yet ANOTHER lottery pick season. Where else can you find a job where you're in a good environment (as I said, team is winning now) and you get paid millions & not break a sweat?

Rabbit Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I guess BN and LE having an agreement : Canucks don't send LE via waive, and LE will retire after this season, and bonus will be paid to LE in July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have to trade either, but last summer JB said he had a plan in place to recoup the first he gave up to get Miller. Other than Demko which player do we have that’s worth a first and we have depth so he’s not missed? Demko at the 2020 draft for a late first. Gonna happen.

The thing is we actually don’t. Just give Seattle a good pick and/or prospect to get them to take someone other than a goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
