The extension kicks in after next season and by that time he could be considered a legit starter. I like betting on a 6'4 monster with passion oozing out of his ears who is 36-14-7 in his career and was our MVP of the playoffs. Quote

Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 2 Author Posted July 2 13 minutes ago, Commandant said: 3 years is a good length. Agree about the term but man that sounds like way too much Dobes struggled a lot last season but certainly put it together after the goalie coach change. I hope he continues to play great Quote
Habsfan89 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 How smart is our management team we lock up both Demidov and Dobes before their rookie deals run out. So we still have 2 years left before the new deals kick in. So if you look at it , it’s Demidov 10years and Dobes 5 years. I believe they got the extra year out of Hutson and Slaf too. Just brilliant Quote

I hope he continues to play great If hes a starter this is on the cheap side. If hes a 1a/1b this is fair. If hes a backup we overpaid. I think 1 and 2 are more likely than 3 but goalies are voodoo. 2 Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 3 Author Posted July 3 Pretty good stat card so far…Except rebound control - Yikes - but we all already knew that Quote

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 3 Posted July 3 I agree about the term because I agree that goalies are voodoo. I am very confident that Demidov will earn every penny and then some so locking him up for 8 years is a great move. I would never lock up a goalie for that long unless they have proven themselves over a number of years because you just don't know. Quote
WildTurkeyXX Posted July 3 Posted July 3 It's okay. Just a little early. I get the potential benefits of going early (and risks with waiting), but still a little early. Quote
tomh009 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Dobes: “At the end of the day, I feel like everyone wants to win, which is really important to get the deals done and keep the guys together…I’m just excited that everyone is on the same page. We want to do what’s best for us and we think as a group.” “I feel like we have a lot of potential in the next couple of years to get something exciting done…” 1 Quote
