Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, b3. said: They paid a bit more for him to go to Seattle in two years, if they did a three year term it would have been cheaper. Another optic we should view the value of this deal through. JB is staging things for that timeline. It’s interesting today, but it will be prime time TV when he hits that wall he’s been building towards where he’ll be able to move in any direction he chooses.

Dunno if he'd take term on a similar money deal though, but market may have changed. 4 years would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Holtby is not the same guy he was in his prime, but he was by far the most skilled goaltender available. You always go with the highest skill, especially for a 1B mentor. Prime Holtby was even better than Markstrom imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 JB is proving he’s a boss and can make the hard decisions. Have been hoping for a deal like this all along, JM thanks for the memories and hope you can keep not allowing one of the first three shots faced from going in - that was the biggest difference in his play the past 18 months of playing. Going to be tough facing him if he ends up in EDM or CAL, one of the better goalies we’ve ever had - will miss him but welcome to the team Holtby!!!’ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But depends who else is there ... a lot still left to happen ... say we sing Tanev and one more blue chip D... then we can’t protect them all.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I am very surprised he only got 2 years. I figured the Oilers would give him more money and term. Oilers were probably banking on Marky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm a bit nervous about his horrible numbers the last 3 years but you JB wanted someone with experience and a cup to mentor the defence and Demko. Looking for a 41-41 split next season but I'm sure Demko will end up just stealing the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he happens to play poorly for us good thing is its only a 2yr term...not 3yr like Talbot and Khudobin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Keep in mind Holtby will be playing a reduced role from being a 50+ game starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom is the final chapter in the biggest tree trade in the history of the NHL. Linden’s last gasp is gone. Would have been fun to keep it going - but JB just made a boss move and have to tip my hat to him. Holtby won’t make it easy for Demko. And that’s great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, stawns said: this is a 1A 1B situation and Demko is likely 1A Both goalies will probably play 35+ games. Keep them fresh and good. Holtby also seems to have put up better numbers in the playoffs compared to the regular season the last 3 years. Kind of gives me the implication that Clarke can work on him, especially with the reduced role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
