Can't stand goalie contracts over 3 years. Bleh. Don't care who it is.

Very reasonable take.

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...

Thankfully they have a bad 4M backup signed long term

Bergevin is a trend-setter league wide, apparently? Although he went with the bad 10M backup, which was much bolder.

I mean Jake Allen excels in that role. Holtby is bad.

I dont blame Bergy for Allen, but maybe he oughta start

 

[MindzEye]

this could actually be a great deal
or it could be terrible

For this to become a great deal, he would have to elevate his game a step or more from where it's been this season. If he's just this guy for the next 5 years, and plays 50-55 games a year, it's an okay deal.

One more year isn't long term

One more year isn't long term

I thought it was a 4 year deal for some reason

It the nucks so it wouldn't be out of character

Sometimes, 1 yr of term can feel like a fucking eternity.

Watch the Canucks pay Seattle a fuck ton of assets to take Loui and Holtby just so they can spend the freed cap on more Jay Beagles

 

[hockeylover]

Unsurprising. Everyone was commenting when Gaudette tested positive that he was hanging out with Boeser all weekend so I'd be surprised if he's not another one.

 

[hockeylover]

The Sabres are gonna win :O :O

[Deckie007]

I've seen it 20 times and I still can't stop laughing

 

[uncus]

Didn't a leaf player get suspended a year or two ago for the same thing? Throwing a helmet at another player?

 

[uncus]

LOL, I think it was Frasier McLaren that got suspended lol .... never mind lol

 

[leafman101]

Superstars are throwing elbows and helmets now. Parros has done such a great job to protect the stars and player safety.

 

[BG]

The superstars are TOO safe, now THEY are gooning it up with no consequence.

Bring back fighting, but only just enough of it to balance things out.

 

[worm]

bring back those staged fights!!!!
