Either way pretty decent deal for both parties. I was pretty close to your numbers on a bridge, but if you look at it another way, that bridge would have taken him right to UFA years...........so He would have had 2 X 4 plus a 6 X 6 or he would have done a Markstrom and walked..........so the average Cap hit over 8 years would have been.......... 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 44 divided by 8 = 5.5 over that time Now he is 5 X 5 which allows the Cap to go up post Covid, where it might be a little easier to swallow ............I like it!

Not a fan of his though anddislike many of his contracts. But nothing to complain about with this deal. Fair market value for a starter, good term, and a good fit with the teams future cap. Could be a steal if Demko becomes that Vezina worthy guy we all hope he will but at worst it is good. Good signing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should give Benning his last year on his contract now Not without seeing what he does with EP and QH plus how he handles the UFA. Sounds like Pearson is going to be re-signed so lets see how deals like that look first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Awesome value, he's out playing goalies who are being paid substantially more, and he's already shown that he can handle any pressure that is thrown his way. Glad he's locked in for the next 5 years, gives us great stability in net and great cost certainty. Now, let's get Hughes and Pettersson locked in for 7 x 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Very good deal. Love the 5 years. 5 mill per is great value. He'll be 30 and UFA when it expires. Hopefully has a couple of Cups and can go get Price and Bobrovsky type big money deal in a different market. Now get EP and Hughes done 8 yrs 7 mill per year each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Benning and the rest of us had hindsight vision like you, then we could all be geniuses like you. Its not hindsight though, its foresight. The bad contracts he has signed were pretty clearly bad contracts the minute they were signed for various reasons. Eriksson at 6 years, Beagle and Roussel at 4 years, all for premium UFA dollars and with trade protection included. Holtby was pretty redundant when they could have signed a less expensive backup and kept Toffoli or Tanev. Not necessarily bad players but not worth what they got especially in term. The chain reaction cost the team better veteran players that actually moved the needle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) One can only assume Benning threw in a 2nd round pick as part of the deal? Also, does Demko get ventilated for 6 goals tonight to get everyone freaking out? That would definitely be a Canucks thing to happen.
