Well Demko isn't ready for starters workload yet. Both goalies play 35+ games. 1A/1B. Akin to Marky/Miller. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the same age as Markstrom and with similar numbers... but more stuff on his resume. I'm actually surprised that he signed so cheap. 4 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is a great deal. Very sad to see Marky go, but this is probably for the best. Holtby will be a great mentor for Demko. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was an option to let Marky walk and replace him with another vet, but thought it might be MAF instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think this guy needed a change. The future is set with Demko. Great move. I wanted Marky back but the pieces didn’t fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 That's pretty solid deal assuming there is no NMC 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
