Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal delivers more news on the Thatcher Demko's ever-changing injury
Thatcher Demko's Injury Status Still Unclear, According to Insider Rick Dhaliwal
As the Canucks gear up for the new season, fans are anxiously waiting for updates on Thatcher Demko's status. According to Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, the situation surrounding Demko's injury remains uncertain. While Demko was recently spotted on the golf course, it appears he's still not back to taking shots on the ice-raising questions about whether he'll be ready for the regular season.
What adds to the mystery is that there's still no confirmation on whether Demko underwent a knee scope procedure. The team is staying tight-lipped, leaving both fans and insiders in the dark about his recovery timeline.
Dhaliwal also pointed out a growing concern among many: Demko may have been rushed back too quickly for last season's playoff run. Already a goalie with a history of injury issues, pushing him to return prematurely could have worsened his condition, leading to the current uncertainty.
Dhaliwal also added the Canucks are still actively pursuing free agent goaltender's Kevin Lankinen and Anti Raanta, but do not want to over spend to save cap space for the trade deadline. For now, Canucks fans will have to wait and see how this unfolds. Demko's health is critical to the team's success, and any extended absence would be a major blow. Here's hoping we get some clarity soon-because come regular season, Vancouver will need their star goalie at 100%.
