Not Signing Markstrom - Demko Time

Équipe: 2020-21 Canucks de Vancouver

Date de création initiale: 1 sept. 2020

Publié: 1 sept. 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Yes losing Markstrom would suck, but if it happens we need to be ready.

This would include:

- Implementing a goalie duo
- If we can get one under $2M
- Two or less years would be perfect
- Lets Demko (NHL) and DiPietro (AHL) get more games played.

As for the rest of the roster:

- Keep Toffoli over Virtanen
- Package Jake with Baertschi for a pick (A 2nd is probably too much, but should be in that range)
- VAN has around $5M to sign a defenseman
- If they can get Tanev on a deal like Edler that would help (Short-term, relatively decent cap)
- The replacement for Virtanen vould be Leivo (or another buy low winger
- This allows Lind to continue developing in the AHL (maybe ready by the trade deadline)
- Depending on the KHL season and the start of the NHL, Podkolzin could come over at some point!

Let me know what you would do in the case that they don't Markstrom back!
