JASON DEMERS - Defenseman - 31 - $3.93MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 7/23/19
While Jason Demers may not be worth his decently expensive price tag, that does not mean he is not a valuable NHL defenseman when healthy. A natural puck mover, Demers is at his best with the puck on his stick, speeding through the neutral zone in an attempt to establish some offense. Defensively, he's shown some physical ability, but more importantly, he's smart enough and responsible enough to be a positive defensive defender. His more aggressive offensive style causes him to sometimes have defensive lapses, but overall Demers can be trusted in high leverage defensive situations or on the penalty kill. He's not a burner and his edgework could stand to improve, but given his strength as a transitional defenseman and his prowess defensively, Demers is a solid #4 defenseman. Just keep him off of the power play, please.
