Am I missing something? His SV PCT last year was below .900...why not get Fluery and a pick for less?
- pker2theend

Fleury is 7m aav. Vegas wasn't going to retain. They wanted to trade him with a 2nd and have the team he goes to trade him with retention to get another asset. Essentially looking to 3 way trade him.

incredibly smart. I think we will see a ton of short (2 year) deals, and not a ton of protection given out (maybe exceptions for the Hall/Petro/Krug).

Holtby at 2 years is a really good move, and if Markstrom gets anything over 4 years with CGY/EDM, it will be a fantastic move by comparison IMO

Yup. Holtby should be a decent backup for Demko.

hopefully a 1a/1b type scenario for year 1, and hopefully a good backup for Demko in year 2. Can't help but feel that he is a very good leader and veteran for Demko.

This is a blessing, free agency isn’t where you build your club, it’s where you fine tune it.

Or drive it right into the ground.

Only last year. The year prior he had a .911 sv% and 2.82 gaa.
- Retinalz


He's been a below avg starter for 3 years now on one of the best teams in the league. Happy they moved on from Marky but don't expect him to be very good for us. Happy to be wrong

Holtby has been really bad the past couple years but I'm glad they didn't cave to Markstrom.

Nighty you still think Vegas is going to have trouble moving salary?

That Turris deal is really good.

- belcherbd

Well the Jets gifted VGK that I didn’t see coming. Not a good trade on their part imo.

2 years, expose him to Seattle.

Cheaper then Marky.

Not a big risk, not huge money.

Ian Mac reporting that the offer was 5 years at 5 aav for Markstrom, which he wasn't happy with. He is going to get paid by CGY, and we will all be happy JB and the Canucks walked away.

If he's not any good then he might get Green fired, so it could be a win/win.

Marky lost himself and the cap has been mismanaged.


Didn't want you to wait for Lefty, he's probably out on his expensive boat.

- pker2theend

Goalies who played 20 plus games last year he was 52 of 57 in SV%
47 of 57 in GAA.

8th in Wins.

This is just a Beagle signing but without the added two years.

I would have taken Fluery at half for a 2nd in 2021 for "future considerations"
