Buying into 3 UFA years tho, thats really a solid move. I wonder what it cost in bonuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel like this is a tiny gamble that could have a potentially huge payout. Time will tell I suppose. All Demmer has done for the last year is improve so I’m hopeful. some risk, yes, but he's been a dominant goalie at every level he's played at, so I think the risk is very small. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Considering this eats a few UFA years, this is a solid deal for the Canucks assuming Demko can keep up this level of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no science with goalies - it’s so hard to predict. They didn’t really have a good bridge option with Thatcher’s free agency coming up in two years so this makes sense. At this price, I think the long term gamble on Thatcher is a good one as it’s pretty in line with what goalies of his experience get. They need some consistency with Clark though. Bobrovsky and Markstrom fell off without him. If they retain Clark, the value of this Demko contract increases substantially because there’s a big risky variable being mitigated. My personal guess a few weeks back was 5MMx6Y... so this is in line with that. Edited March 31, 2021 by Tom Sestito 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Love it, should be great value long term. Sign the goalie coach next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Unreal deal. We're set in the crease for years to come. Now hopefully Peter and Hughes will follow suit with similarly affordable deals! (I know, I know...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to land a solid backup, or DiPietro, for well under 3aav. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Love it. Our goalie of the future showed last year in the playoffs and this year that he’s our goalie of the now. He deserves every penny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 That's actually a really decent deal. Pretty long term and a good cap hit. If Demko keeps progressing the way he has, this will be a steal in a couple years (think Nathan Mackinnon type steal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
