All about security. As soon as Benning declared Demko the goalie of the future and that we'd be protecting him, everyone should have been able to put 2+2 together that Marky want coming back.

Short of Loui E off the books, it was a forgone conclusion he was gone regardless of Demko's play in the postseason imho.

:P

Irony 

I'm just giving him extra crap because he claimed to be a "6 figure" contract negotiator, but has yet to demonstrate anything that suggests he knows what he's talking about, including the fact that he lacks an attention to detail. He's also talking down on people all the time, making him like Wetcoaster 2.0.

 

Anyway, pretty sure Markstrom will sign more than 5.

Looking at twitter, it seems this is very very unconfirmed. The thread title tag should be changed to [Rumour].

From what it looks like, its a bidding war between Calgary and Edmonton at this point.

Edmonton has 5.9m in cap space. It's a one horse race if it's down to these two teams. Come on Detroit or Carolina. Come in and scoop Marky up.

 

Edit: Edmonton according to capfriendly doesn't have a 2nd goalie or a 6th and 7th defender. Unless they use rookies in all 3 positions. And if they do that's like what 2mil for all 3 positions filled via rookies? So they have even less cap than is shown even if they fill holes with rookies.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Marky's contract will confirm whether or not Marky had a chance at coming back. We have the cap space to offer him. The problem is we also have Demko who has shown glimpses of being a starter, we have the expansion draft to worry about and for all we know Marky wants a NMC. We aren't exposing Demko for 3-4 years of Marky. So it's very likely that even without Eriksson's contract we don't re-sign Marky.

Nope. Clearly leaving for security, term ED protection, clear starting role etc. We were likely offering $5m+... Not about money. At all. 

 

Demko and the ED with no security beyond this year.
