Thatcher Demko has developed into the top netminder in Vancouver and the team had a hard time finding their pace when he was injured for an extended period of time during the season. Demko came back, as healthy as ever and was a dominant force for the team after he had struggled during the early stages of the season.
Demko came back with the team and displayed his full abilities. If he starts the season on that same note, can he carry the team to a playoffs spot? Obviously this change's had positives repercussion on his game, at a time where preparation is everything.
