Most likely gonna wait for him at that Petro gas station. I wonder if Beags had any part in his acquisition. via suggesting to benning or convincing Holtby to come to van.

Camel Toe Drag Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 1 minute ago, BPA said: 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. Screw Vegas. Let them burn. They had their way with the league during the expansion draft. People don’t forget. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Benning showing some serious Bellichuck stones this morning. Great to see him walk away instead of caving. Gonna miss Marky, though. Was the heart of this team for the last couple of years and picked us up off the floor of the league. But you have to look forward, and this is a great, great move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analyst82 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Really like this signing! Love the term and the fact that he can be exposed in the expansion draft. I also love the fact that, unlike Markstrom, we shouldn't feel obligated by giving him majority of the starts. Should be a great mentor for demko as well.

It's sort of a two way street though. LOVE Marky and I'm the biggest team homer there is...but tough business decisions have to be made at times. Demko deserves his time to shine too.

Noble 6 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 1 minute ago, Dazzle said: 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. I'm not going to turn this into a Beagle discussion. Washington preferred Dowd at 750k over Beagle at 3M and that's the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look really think he was going to be the same goalie at 35 or 36? We also save cap in the meantime. Sad to see Marky go too, but this may end up the right decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 Holtby is also a Shane Doan type of quality guy. The Canucks May have lost Marky, but they replace him with an excellent person and teammate. The Canucks organization must be thrilled to welcome him. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Does Holtby give up the 1st goal on the first shot of the game too? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is a solid deal. Bridge contract and has a wealth of experience. Good mentor to Demko. The term is not that bad. Good luck to Braden here in Vancity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Cant help but think that Marky chose a bad year to hold out for max term, nmc and top dollar. His play has really only been stellar for the past 1.5 years and he was injured twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 Upset to see Marky go, but this makes sense. We couldn’t protect both in expansion. Marky wanted protection and honestly he’s earned that. Demko is our goaltender of the future. Same age range as our young stars. Let’s hope Demko and Holtby are up to the task. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he needed much convincing at 4.3mill but reports few days ago were that Vancouver was #1 on his list. I’m sure Beags and Holtby had a conversation.

UKNuck96 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Happy with this, means we have to move on from marky but getting him at a good cost would have been having our cake, realistically this makes sense both in the player, the cap and the term and fits perfectly with the view that our window really opens in 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
