And that's a HUGE problem. If the Canucks are moving Markstrom it's because they're handing the reigns to Demko and don't want to offer Markstrom a big contract. I bet they could get a 2nd+ from a team such as Carolina and avoid having to take on a boat anchor contract.
I'm not so sure. Not sure Demko is such a sure thing that we shouldn't take back another goalie when moving Markstrom as a contingency. Also don't think Carolina is an option with Mrazek playing the way he has been for the last half of the season - he ended with a better sv% than Markstrom.
Jones is from Vancouver so that probably alleviates the NTC situation, and there's enough there to suggest he can be a reasonable starter - he just can't be relied on to lead an elite team deep. That's not really a problem for us anytime soon.
