CANUCKS RE-SIGN DEMKO TO A REASONABLE DEAL. WAIT, REALLY?

One of the more important items on Jim Benning’s to-do list is out of the way early as the club announced yesterday that Thatcher Demko has signed a contract extension. The deal will pay the goaltender $1.050 Million over the next two seasons.

It’s been a year where the management of this team has taken some hits, many of them well-deserved. This is one where I am happy to say that he did good and should be given credit. He’s not overpaying Demko, but giving him a deal that lets him know he has two years to show them he’s ready to take that next step.
