I think he was playing on a good team. There's a reason Washington let him go. Same reason why Beagle was let go too? Puhleeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Wow. Never thought we'd walk from Marky. I'm devastated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 what a great signing. No way MArky was gonna do a 2 year deal when he's got others offering 5 years plus. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I am very happy with this move. I think it was the only move with the flat cap and the expansion draft. I think the term is great, the number is great, the lack of NTC is great. Markstrom spent 10 years trying to become a great goalie and Ian Clark and the Canucks did that for him. He will go somewhere else that might not fit. They will overpay and overcomit. Welcome Braden, now get moving Jimmy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They felt that they could get younger and/or cheaper players to step in to those roles. They signed Dowd for peanuts and they have Samsonov in net. They didn't feel that any extra value that the vets brought was worth their cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it looks like overpayment too. Yes! Sports is always a "what have you done for me lately", and Holtby has struggled and I often felt he was the weak link on Washington. I'm willing to give him a try. If he sucks, we have him for one more season, and that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 As much as I liked Markstrom and would have liked to see him stay with the Canucks, its kind of nice having a goalie here to mentor Demko, who knows what its like to carry his team to the Cup! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say 5 of them at +/- $1 mill, plus Jake at whatever. Even consigning LE and SB to Utica won't create enough room even to sign Tanev, let alone upgrade plus Toffee more like 10 with Loui and Baer in the minors. But not a lot left.

Guy vegas was willing to give up picks to offload MAF at 50% retained No. I believe that Vegas wanted a 2nd team to take 50% retention for picks. And the primary trade partner would get MAF for 3.5M for 2 yrs. Vegas wanted no retention of MAF cap hit. And no one team was willing to accept all of MAF cap hit.

I guess that'll put the theory to the test. Can he take a goalie clearly trending downwards and 'getting older' and bring him back? Need to worry about our defense first, without Tan Man we get worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word was that the Capitals were cash strapped, and were very sad to let Beagle go. That was what happened at the time, but it's fun to see people rewriting history. Nothing personal but that's what I see people doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Clarke sees something he can work with then I'm not going to argue with him. I'm just saying looking purely at the contract, it seems a little expensive given his level of play recently. Again, the term is a major win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Like the term. Can live with the AAV. Really like that this signals a commitment to Demko as the goalie of the future. And confident that Ian Clark had a big say in the entire decision making process, so the most informed and intelligent decision possible has been made, regarding our future in net. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
