and can you blame him

 

[nucks88]

Good

 

[Marlander93]

I would too

 

[Riptide]

and can you blame him

Nope not at all. Love the city... but that team is a mess.

 

[WesMcCauley]

What are Vancouver doing? Are they rebuilding, trying to contend or just not trying to be horrible?

 

[Daniel M]

Nice decision. Offered a nice, comfortable contract and then shipped away to a black hole? Gotta feel good to have that NTC right now.

 

[Cancuks]

Terrible player on a bloated contract... wonder how many picks and/or prospects Brilliant Jim was offering up?

Your username suggests no bias in your response whatsoever.

lol Demers is a solid defensemen. Would easily take him on my team.

 

[Bandit]

Jason Demers has a NTC? Brutal.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Can't blame him. Vancouver is a beautiful city but the team sucks currently and he'll lose hundreds in thousands via taxes going from Florida to Vancouver

 

[IranCondraAffair]

I don't blame him

It is a lot of money in taxes to give up. You'd be going to a team that is struggling. You're not young anymore and you don't have a ring.

There will be other offers that I'm sure will be more palatable.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I can understand. He wants to be on a real NHL team.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Shrugs, that's why you get NMC in your contract. It's a pretty huge move for him for sure if he had accepted it.

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmfao how did a fringe dman like demers have a ntc

Funny how the only people in this thread with anything negative to say about Demers are upset Canucks fans.

I am neither upset, nor a Canucks fan. Just surprised that he has one.

He'd be on your top pairing probably soooooo

Without fear of being attacked...

Early indication is Vancouver is making the same mistakes the oilers made.

At the deadline it somewhat looked like the team was embracing the rebuild...with what is reportedly happening today...they are trying to rebuild on the fly

Took awhile for the oilers to embrace it and admit it.

Nuck fans may not like this view..but I see the similierties

Lmao at upset, i find it more hilarious than anything

Wasn't talking about you. Referring to the people calling him a bad or fringe player like the guy I quoted.

 

[Ace of Hades]

He'd be on your top pairing probably soooooo

No, no he wouldn't.

Second pairing or third pairing most likely.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I would too, Why? waste your time on a rebuilding team. Could still see Demers heading to Toronto.

It's an 8 team NTC, not a full one.
