While Demers' agent projected a return date in early February, the player himself pledged to be ready for near the start of the season. We'd care more for such specifics if the 24-year-old was a truly valuable fantasy asset. As it stands, he's a mediocre asset, at best. A defensive liability all too often, Demers wasn't one of coach Todd McLellan's faves in 2011-12 ' even when the young Shark was actually healthy. But the talent is still there and the incentive of earning a new deal couldn't be greater. So, Demers is still worth monitoring.
