The Whiteboard: Demko's Done

In this edition of The Whiteboard, the Canucks announce that Thatcher Demko will undergo hip surgery unrelated to last year’s injury, sidelining him for the rest of the season but with expectations he’ll be ready for training camp. Jamie digs into Demko’s troubling injury history, six different injuries over 20 months, and what it means for a team trying to navigate a rebuild without a reliable starting goalie. With Boeser and Buium also injured and Evander Kane’s name circulating in trade talk, uncertainty continues to surround the roster. The discussion closes with Vancouver tracking toward the league’s best lottery odds and the real possibility of one of the lowest point totals in franchise history.
