Demers has been really good, then not so good, then really good again and this year, not so good. Last year, he looked like he was breaking out to the upside nicely, but has been a drag on the team this year. I LIKE THIS MOVE for the sharks.
People have long blamed Thornton/Marleau for the team's problems, but imo, they NEVER went to the post season with a strong enough defense. Demers' 'fancy stats' have been horrible this year.
Seems like a good guy and has one of my favorite hockey nicknames, 'daddy' (this has never been explained...) - good luck to him
