I am assuming this is insurance to make sure Demko doesn't falter then expose Holtby in expansion draft?

Yes! I could also see this as being a 2 year process; first year is Holtby and Demko (more split, but Demko isn't necessarily labeled as the starter), the 2nd year is Demko take over with a 55-45 type of split.

 

And Holtby fits the criteria for an exposed goalie.

 

I've personally never been a huge fan of Holtby, but he has won a cup, so there's that experience (that we potentially lose with Toffoli leaving)

Personally, I was a little concerned about how often Markstrom got injured this season and the timing on the injuries. He's 30 now, I think I'm a little relieved that we didn't jump into extending him for 5 or 6 years in the 6 million range with a full NMC.
