Provost Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Tough way to end a stellar career with that team. I wonder if he will hang them up or try another gig as a back up on a contending team. He is pretty much done, but that experience in the room could be really useful. Yet another goalie on the pile of free agents and trade bait this offseason. I take Lundqvist over Holtby (but preferably neither of them).

Popular Post Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think he'd be a good back-up for Demmer on a cheap contract if Marky walks. Butterfly - just like Clark likes. Cheaper, stand-up character (King Clancy runner-up), keep the Swedish connection going, hasn't won a cup and will really want one if he's gonna re-sign elsewhere I'd think. Same agent as Bo Horvat and Tyson Barrie right? I'm sure he and Benning will talk 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 As a backup for Demko, he'd be excellent. For the right price of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Sign him JB He played 30 games last year. If he can give us that its good. Won't be full 82 game season anyways. Demko takes 40 or 45. He'll be super motivated and super cheap. Plus great veteran presence in the room for Demko and all the other kids... He won't cost much at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Definitely a decent option for a backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 King Henrik getting bought out. Ya hate to see it. I'd take him on a 1 or 2 year 2m per deal assuming a Marky deal isn't happening. Lots of backup goalie options out there it seems. Making a Marky deal less and less important. It'd be nice to have Marky. Someone to expose in the expansion draft and to give Demko one more year of backup before full time starter. But running a King Henrik/Demmer duo wouldn't be too bad. At least on paper it looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) I have a hard time seeing him in another jersey, but I used to say the same thing about Brodeur.. We're so fortunate the twins retired as Canucks Edited September 29, 2020 by Coconuts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Miller 2.0? He might be able to help Demko develop the same way Miller did Marky..I would rather sign him for a year then Holtby for 5, that's for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caboose Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2020 Oh man this sucks. Fans complain about no loyalty from players but look at the loyalty a franchise shows to one of its all time greats. Players should never be afraid to take the money. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly is a two way street. I hate to see it end for him like this, but there is a global pandemic, a flat cap and his play hasn’t been the same. I don’t think too many players are afraid to take the money. True loyalty in hockey from players or teams is the exception not the rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) its a no-brainer buyout, 1.5 mil in real salary for 3 mil in cap savings this year. Edited September 29, 2020 by Robert Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 What would his ask be? I was thinking 2x4, but maybe he'd take even less? Vancouver seems like a pretty perfect fit for him. Classiest city in Canada (I know Toronto is the "New York of Canada", but we've got more class), long history of Swedes. You'd have to think his professionalism would rub off on Demko, but also the young Swedes like Petey and potentially Hoglander. He's just not that great of a goalie anymore. He really would be a 1B. Like, if we're targeting Holtby for a similar term and pricetag, he's considerably better at this stage. We'd only go after Lundqvist if he's looking for short term and a really palatable AAV. Basically, only if we can sell him on riding out his career in beautiful British Columbia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
