Just curious, what happened with Demko? I thought him and Carter Hart were suppose to be the next two guys for goalies
Honestly still could be, we will see what happens, the guy still has a lot of potential and goalies always tend to need a bit longer to develop. This was his first "full year" in the league. There are definitely multiple scenarios in which Thatcher can take the starting job still.
When Markstrom got hurt and the ball fell to Demko at seasons end he didnt exactly run with it, but he didn't drop it either. Let in some weak goals and the team lost games they should have won. His play reminded me a lot of Markstrom 2-3 years ago.

Would you rather the nucks protect Demko over Markström? Or not worth the risk?

Right now Id say Markstrom because he gives the team the better chance to win with the current core IMO. But Demko has been getting better each year so who knows what happens next season. Could easily go the other way with Demko out playing Marky or Demko being the better value option if the team needs to save cap.
