apollo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'd be surprised if Demmer doesn't get the bulk of the games He's the better goalie. That being said, I have no choice but to become the #1 holtby fan as JB can do no wrong. Welcome braden. You have my full support. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Just now, Horvat is a Boss said: Love the term on this deal; two years is perfect. Could not ask for anything better there. The cap hit is a little high. I don't think Holtby is anything special as a goalie but I would not be surprised if he improves under our goaltending coaches. Everyone else seems to. I like the experience he brings and he'll be a good mentor for Demko. Speaking of which, I am very excited to see what Demko can do with an increased workload. He did not impressive during the season but his Playoffs were obviously unreal. I'm glad he'll get to grow with the core. Guy won a Stanley Cup, won multiple personal awards, and is more accomplished than any of our past goalies, including Ryan Miller. Not anything special? Come on. You have to give credit where it's due. Edited October 9, 2020 by Dazzle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sees him as the worst fit here with our style. Ian Clark must have OKed it, so we will see, he has earned our trust so far. Pretty sure Washington plays or played way more open than Vancouver. I wouldn't stress to much about that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oldnews Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 Sad to see Markstrom go - what a character - go out and get yourself a monster deal Marky. Would have been nice to have him back, but we couldn't offer a NMC -and realistically, it was a one year commitment from us and then a question mark - understandable if he expected more - and to get paid. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Higgins Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Do we know if he was given a ntc or nmc? Also i assume 2 years lets him go to when people are expecting the cap to start rising again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky was unreal with crap in front of him No goalie is going to be better than that. This cap allows us to improve our team in front of the goalie so nobody has to be superman on a regular basis anymore. That said, if we don't improve in the other areas, I wouldn't be surprised (or upset) if we missed the playoffs next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, Canuckster86 said: I would get put in that group most likely...I like the deal, bringing in a Cup winner with loads of experience, less term than Talbot. Should be a good G tandem for the Canucks imo Probably one of Benning's better UFA signings then? Would this be one of Benning's smarter FAs if he didn't commit too long to anybody? Genuinely curious to see if there's common ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Good term, good money, has quite the resume. Quite satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Wow this is totally out of the blue. And I am very surprised Holtby is willing to take a 2 year contract at such a low AAV? Comparing to Bobrosky's contract.. This is like day and night. Holtby probably better than Markstrom and lower cap hit too. So this is definitely a positive for us.

Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Markstroms injuries I think was the biggest reason why he wasn’t resigned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
