[Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko

The Vancouver Canucks will reportedly sign 2014 2nd round pick Thatcher Demko to a three-year entry-level deal this afternoon.

The contract will begin next season and at this time, there are no details on the terms of the deal.
By signing this contract, Demko will forgo his senior year of NCAA eligibility. Given that he could have chosen to become a unrestricted free agent upon the conclusion of his senior year, getting him signed now avoids any possible drama.
Demko took home the Mike Richter Award, which was given to the most outstanding goaltender in Division 1 NCAA hockey.
The San Diego native had a fantastic junior season for the Boston College Eagles, where he set new career highs in games played (39), wins (27), minutes played (2361), goals against average (1.88), save percentage (0.935), and shutouts (10). He set a new Boston College single season shutout record, passing former Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider’s mark of 8.
From a team standpoint, the Eagles had a successful season, winning the Beanpot tournament championship and reaching the Frozen Four, after falling in the NCAA regionals last season. Ultimately they lost to the number one ranked Quinnipiac Bobcats in the semi-finals.

Probably going to pull a sign and trade to ship him off to Switzerland and get Hiller back.Originally Posted by 2014olympicgold
In all seriousness though, how long do we think until he is getting a relevant amount of starts in VAN? Is an injury to Miller/Markstrom all it would take, or is he three years away regardless?

Good work by Vancouver front office getting him locked down. They could not afford to have a goaltending prospect of that caliber pull a Vesey on them. Isn't 2016-17 the final year of Miller's term? I would say after that it is Thunderdome between Markstrom and Demko for the No. 1 gig.

Yeah, many nights Miller's best seems to have past him by... much like the puck.

I was just saying to my friend that I know I should feel really happy about this, except I know that he'll be on another team soon enough.

Re: [Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
I would say great signing but they will find someway to turn it into nothing, this management never fails us.
Re: [rumor] Canucks set to sign Thatcher Demko this afternoon to ELC
I have him on the Hellebuyck timeline. Y1 = AHL fulltime. Y2 = AHL/NHL split. Y3 = NHL fulltime.
Re: [Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
I would also add for Canucks fans that the reactions here are seriously disappointing. Maybe management will leave you disappointed but I would hold the media similarly responsible. Look at all the goalie controversies over the years. You could have a literal brick wall in goal and I think they'd still find a way to stir something up. Is this just the personality of the city? Getting Demko with a 2nd round pick and ultimately getting him signed is a significant move for the future. This is a good moment.
Re: [Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
I couldn't agree more. I don't really listen to a lot of the media anymore, and I definitely try to avoid the most vocal "fans" because they always find something to be negative about. However, my friends and I are pretty optimistic for the future. We like the first few pieces of this young core, and are looking toward the draft lottery now.

Re: [Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
Oh get off your high horses obviously people are happy with this signing. Especially since he was at risk of being lost for nothing next offseason.
Can't even joke around anymore.
Re: [Signing] Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
I would suggest it's a city that likes to complain, has done so very loudly this past season, and gets some of it's views from a media that was pretty tough on Jim Benning this year (Botchford, in particular).
But there's a group of fans that sees that Demko, Boeser, Virtanen, McCann, Horvat, etc are at least a decent start to a rebuild.
