Coming into the 2024-2025 NHL offseason, one of the biggest priorities for the Vancouver Canucks was to re-sign netminder Thatcher Demko, and now that they have, Demko is reportedly unhappy with the term.
On July 1st, just hours into NHL free agency frenzy, the Vancouver Canucks wasted no-time locking up their veteran All-Star goalie Thatcher Demko to a three-year contract extension worth $25.5 million US ($8.5 million AAV).
"General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with goaltender Thatcher Demko on a three-year contract with a $8.5 million AAV."
Vancouver Canucks' Thatcher Demko wishes his new contract term was longer
Although not disappointed or "unsatisfied" one bit with being back with the Vancouver Canucks for another three-years, he really showed just how happy is to be back by stating that he would have signed two decades if he had the opportunity, showcasing this is the city and team he wants to finish his career with.
«I would sign for 20 years in Vancouver if I could have,» Demko said on TSN's OverDrive. «I've always wanted to be there my whole career. I think there's a bit of a dying breed of guys that get drafted somewhere and want to see it through no matter what adversity hits.»
Coming off a disappointing 2024-2025 campaign filled with hardship and injuries, Demko fully understands the mindset behind only giving him a three-year deal, but him saying he wants to stay for longer is only a major positive, not a knock on the term.
«Like I've mentioned, I've been in contact with this biomechanic specialist guy, which has really helped shape my programming for my summer,» Demko said. «It's kind of brought in some new ideologies and things like that. I feel really good.»
