THATCHER DEMKO - Goalie - 23 - $1.05MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 8/28/19
Canucks fans have been waiting on Demko for a while now, and while I think it's still far too early to anoint him as the savior just yet, early results are promising. Demko is a towering goalie, covering a lot of net naturally and owning the frame most goalies dream of. Demko has all the requisite athleticism and poise to be a franchise goalie. He's blocked a lot of pucks since he was drafted, and typically durability and mental toughness is the key to goalie development, and Demko has those two traits locked down. Demko is an incredibly polished, refined product and should get the bulk of starts in Vancouver sooner rather than later. Obviously goalies are incredibly voaltile assets, so his development could always stall and he could flame out as a legitimate NHL prospect, but as of right now we're looking at a potential #1 goalie in Vancouver.
