Gost stinks but there are tons of teams he'd be an upgrade to.

yeah...the Habs swarmed his ass in the neutral zone so he never got the puck cleanly

Bad and "safe" is a desired player type in the NHL. It's like how every team in the NBA had a big 7 foot white centre who was really bad up until about 10-12 yrs ago.

I believe i shipped it to you for free or in that 10 range and i would argue that thing gets better with each passing year. Shame you dont have it no more.
I think i lost a bet actually and you accepted Lord Rasho as payment

62 career GP. would have to double check but don't think he has ever finished a full season with an above average SV%.
for comparison's sake, when the Leafs signed Freddy to the same deal (worth more at the time, granted), he was coming off of a 43 GP, .919 SV% season, vs. Demko's 27 GP, .905 SV% season...

annnnd I assume he is an RFA too?
god bless Jim Benning.
in fairness, Demko has certainly shown flashes. but goaltending is voodoo and his sample size is hardly enough to be convinced this is what he is. at least he is 6'4" <200 every day

The Demko deal would be okay if it wasn't attached to the Holtby deal which they literally just signed.

He's been really good this year, but Its tough to sign a goalie for longer than 3-4 years.
Freddy's contract was great for 3 years before it went to shit for the final two, and he was one of those rare consistent goalie anomalies.

Demko has never handled a starter's workload (or anything close really) and I'm not sure he's ever put up above league average numbers since making the show. on top of goalies being voodoo...

that is the thing
this could actually be a great deal
or it could be terrible
a risky move that might pay off...but it is the nucks so probably not
what did markstrom sign for again?

and for comparison's sake, Fred signed an identical deal. we came out ahead years 1-3, and are losing in years 4-5. Fred had a better track record than Demko too. I mean he could become an above average starter, but my money would not be on him sustaining that performance through the life of the deal.
