A loss like this may be good.
As for Demers. Do we really wanna throw the money at him? His play has been trending downwards recently. At this point I rather just give John his spot.
That's a little reactionary...it's not like he's past his prime or anything. He's been one of our best defensemen. Johns can't fill his shoes yet, and there's not guarantee that he'll ever be as sound defensively as Demers. If you don't resign Demers, you'd better have a sure-fire replacement, not a prayer on an as yet unproven prospect. If you can get Demers on a good contract, you do it. If you have him at a reasonable price he's at trade commodity in the worst case scenario. Remember...he's a solid, right-shot defenseman...those don't just fall off of trees.
Just my 2 cents.
