Warhippy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think it will just simply come down to term and moderate amounts of $. Canucks did just sign Holtby to a decent deal for a very short amount of time. This gives a great chance for Demko to slide in to the #1 position. With Markstrom having some injuries in the past and on the north side of players age he was probably looking for a near retirement contract which would have pushed Demko out the door. While I don't know if Demko has what it takes to be a 60 game starter yet. I do know that a 5+ year contract with Markstrom would have essentially sunk the chances of both Demko and DiPietro. Plus...the teams new core know how to light Marky up and I expect them to take full advantage of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw him, can't wait to see the waves of mediocrity wash over him with no Clarke to throw him a life preserver..muahahaha, muahahaha! Love how suddenly its all Ian Clarke. Reality is hes a great G and if he sinks its because of the crap put around him. We lost a good goalie. And understandably so. He deserves every cent he gets, but suddenly turning on him is just silly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 i hope its an overpayment. Marky makes $ and Flames are stuck in mediocrity. 1 could only hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if he left just for one extra year and no more AAV, then the guy can go screw himself and I hope he is terrible there. If the guy cashed in, good on him. If he wasn’t willing to do any discount at all for here then good riddance. Edited October 9, 2020 by Provost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Sickening, that defence isn't going to help him much. Anyone know cap hit and term? Hope it is considerably different to Holtby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wish him luck unless it impacts us directly. Problem is it took him 6 years to get to the point he is at now, and I can imagine there could be regression soon. It's great to have our goalie of the future (Demko) ready to go with another great goalie on a short term deal as insurance. To be honest this just works for everyone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) JB was pretty mum about Demko immediately after the playoffs and he said something like he was going to talk to Ian Clarke about the goaltending situation next year and then 3-4 days later after talking to Clarke he made it clear Demko was the future... To me that says that Ian Clarke made it clear that Demko was the goalie to go forward with. If Ian Clarke wanted Demko over Markstrom that tells you all you need to know.

rychicken Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Calgary will have to overpay - no way Markstrom will want to listen to George Canyon sing the anthem 41x a season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we offer that and his response is take his chances in free agency. That doesn't mean he'll get more, as we see what he ended up with, and maybe he even got trade protection.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I trust in JB on this one, he must have had some red flags and an NMC or anything over 5.5M were surely two of them. Covid and Seattle sadly really play into this but Holtby is just what we need - save some cap, expose him as a goalie and all about the Demko train, sign a UFA to back him up in 2 years time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I fully believe that this is fake. Markstrom will sign for more than Lehner did in Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 No way he takes $4.5 and 4 years. Marky gonna do us a solid and put the screws to 'em if it's Edmonton or Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFan1123 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Every other signing has announced term and money like right away. Of course they make us wait on Marky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Sucks to lose another top player (MVP) for nothing. Losing him given the circumstances is understandable. Losing him for nothing stinks. I'm happy Demko wasn't given away for another $8M/yr salary though. If JB strengthens the D in a big way in the offseason, this will all be forgotten. Signing Pietrangelo and keeping Tanev would sure hit the spot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
