I had a good conversation with him a couple weeks ago and he was super stoked to put in work with Ian Clarke this summer.  Nice kid, hopefully he makes it one day.

Hope this kid pans out, I really do. Because at some point, we will need a succession plan for if Demko moves on.

1. Demko is not moving on

2. Silovs

I’m very hopeful for him and his development. If my aging brain serves me correctly, Ian Clark was one of the biggest advocates for drafting him. Hopefully this means he liked what he saw in Young during camp.

1).Demko is only signed for 3 years.  You have no idea what the future might hold. He may look to move on once he hits UFA status.  Or injuries might completely derail his career.  

 

2) Silovs is young and has yet to prove anything at the NHL level beyond a handful of games.  Goalies development arcs are notoriously difficult to predict. As such it's important to keep the pipeline full of promising prospects.

Atta boy Ty! Obviously Clarkie likes what he's been seeing. 

[cripplereh]

His ELC won't kick in till next year at the earliest so good one for us.

[Snoop Hogg]

Wonderful. Now start signing guys whose rights will expire.

[WHL rocks]

Like this kid. Big kid, was 6'3 when he was drafted at 17yrs old. Must be an inch taller by now.

 

Hopefully a future starting goalie for us.

1) demko will be 30 in 3 years.. i've said it back then when markstrom was 30.. goalie tend to start regressing once they hit 30.. not that many maintain an elite level past 30.. those that do usually been elite their entire career.. and Demko is not.

2) Silovs is far from a sure thing.. it's not like he's lighting it up in the AHL.. he's like 20th in sv% in the AHL.. he had a couple of decent games in the nhl and we are ready to call him the successor lol.

Aside from playing very well in those few games, Silovs literally just won the MVP and stood on his head in that last IIHF tournament.  He became a hero to his nation. I think he is a wee bit higher in his ability to play than you give him credit.

None of that changes anything I said.  He hasn't proven anything at the nhl level yet, AND, goalie trajectories are very difficult to predict.  Look at how many U20 goaltending heros never make a significant impact in the NHL.  

 

I'm not saying he won't eventually be a great starter. Only that you need to hedge your bets and keep quality prospects in tbe pipeline in case he doesn't develop as hoped
