This. That's expensive as **** for a backup. They had better hope that Markstrom can take the starter reins.

I disagree. Awful contract unless he shows a vast improvement imo.

Average compared to his caphit.
Bad News Benning
Fallin for Dahlin?
If Markstrom doesn't work out we have a bunch of high picks as a result. Isn't that how bad teams get better?
With Markstrom/Demko I think goaltending is of least concern.

Don't hate it. With the way Markstrom has progressed these last two years, this could be a really good deal, really soon. He was the best player on the ice and somehow managed to keep that tire-fire team in a lot of games last season. This spells the end for Miller in Vancouver and the stopgap until Demko is ready.
Lmao hilarious how many people haven't watched a single Canucks game if they're saying this deal is bad. The only bright spot in our entire last year was goaltending both Miller and Markstrom (more so marky due to the starts he got - all the tough ones and back to backs)

To be fair Markstrom has one more year at a paltry $1.55M per, another year of getting ready for the #1 role, with the vet Miller sharing 50% duties.
Just banking on Marky getting better next season and earning that 3.66m per after that, it's a solid bet.
A worse contract doesn't make a bad one look better
andersen is a better goalie than markstrom, but both contracts are slight overpays.

Lmao at people ripping this deal.
Yes it's a overpayment, but so what? What else are we gonna do? Resign Miller?
Rush Demko?

Not worried. I think it will turn out to be a fair contract especially if he can continue building on what he did last season.
Yep, no doubt. Both overpaid. Markstrom not as good but makes less money and less term.
Hopefully they both can play up to their contract.

Only non canuck fans think this is terrible. MArky was really good on a terrible team. He is and will be worth it.

i think most of you guys haven't seen him play. its not a bad contract, for what he has shown. the sample size isn't big, but he is a solid goalie.

It might be a bit of an overpayment, but I don't mind.
The guy put up a 0.915% save percentage on the 3rd worst team in the league that had atrocious defence. He's got all the tools, lead our AHL team to the Calder Cup, and has finally started to live up to the hype that he had when he was drafted. With Miller off the books next year, $3.67 mill isn't a bad price for our starting goalie for 2 years. It fits the 'retool' or whatever you want to call it that this team is going into.

I think other team fanbases are just not used to see their team give 10M dollars over 3 years to a goalie that has proved nothing at the age of 26.
Getting used the Benning factor I see

Professional Winner.
I think many only remember Markstrom before he started working with Cloutier.

"Yeah its an overpayment, but so what? What else are we gonna do?"
This is exactly how teams stay bad for so long. How can anyone say an overpayment is not a big deal? Pretty clear that overpaying a few players on your team prevents you from adding talent elsewhere since after all, there is a salary cap...

Jets fans know that feeling. It's been a long 5 years.
