After sending Michael Garteig to the AHL Utica Comets last week, the Vancouver Canucks also reassigned goaltender Thatcher Demko to their affiliate. With that, only Ryan Miller, Jacob Markstrom and Richard Bachman are left with the team. All three played in the NHL for Vancouver last season.
Demko, the Canucks’ 36th-overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, was signed out of Boston College this summer. He is expected to share the Comets crease with Bachman this year, but Garteig could also see some AHL time.
It seems like Demko and Garteig didn’t get to spend much time with the Canucks at training camp, but the Canucks brass and fans got long viewings of both in the Young Stars Classic.
