In an interview with Sportsnet's Iain MacIntyre, the Canucks' pilot revealed that there still wasn't a timeline for Thatcher Demko's return. Despite that, Demko is making daily progress, and at this point, nobody can ask for more.
Connecting the dots, however, the Canucks have ''announced'' that Thatcher Demko wouldn't be a full participant in this year's training camp.
As it was just announced, the Canucks have just added Dylan Ferguson. Patrik Allvin inked the BC native to a professional try-out hoping to fill the 6th goaltending spot in the Canucks' three training camp groups.
Earlier today, Patrik Allvin revealed that if Demko were deemed unfit to participate in the team's training camp, the Canucks would be seeking temporary goaltending options (Dylan Ferguson).
Demko was a force of nature when healthy for the Canucks this past season, and they'll need him at his best if they have any intentions of making a deep push into the playoffs.
