Player Discussion Thatcher Demko

[Bobby9]

Theirs absolutely no way the Canucks should sign him to a long term contract. That would be the final nail in the coffin.

 

[F A N]

I'm actually willing to gamble on Demko. Extend him for 3-4 years at $6M AAV. He probably won't take it though. Probably play things out and see if he can get that Vezina goalie calibre money.

He has to take a back up role unfortunately with his injury history.

Love the player, hate the issues

Lank to a 4x4.
Demko to a 2x2 as back up.

You can't be serious with Demko at 2x2. He will never take less than what he is making now despite his injuries. Dude is 29 and he is looking for his last payday. Offering him 2 mil is like a spit in the face. I'd rather we move him at the deadline if he is healthy and get something for him.

 

[Bonham]

Lankinen has done a great job this season and I hope he's re-signed.

That said, the Canucks are not getting past the top teams in the West without Demko back playing true to form. I would rather gamble on his health over the next couple seasons than take a mediocre package of picks.

Hopefully this injury is just a blip as he was just starting to heat up.

 

[Breakers]

He probably wants 6-7

4 would be the max on term with these injuries

I want a 10 who makes 200k a year and isn’t high maintenance. What’s your point?

No GM is giving him what he wants

Guy just can't stay healthy.

No GM is going to give him a 7 year contract.

Someone will offer him way more than $2 million per year if he's willing to take a two year contract though.
