AutoDraft Pro AI

Vancouver Canucks general manager Ryan Johnson announced that goaltender Thatcher Demko will not be a full participant in training camp as he continues recovering from hip surgery. Demko remains without a definitive timetable to return to full action, though he will join teammates on the ice in Penticton. In the event Demko is sidelined for the start of the regular season, options such as Kevin Lankinen, Chris Driedger, and Nikita Tolopilo are candidates to step into net duties.
