Demko’s placement on the IR will likely be made retroactive to Feb. 8. He left the Canucks’ game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 10 minutes due to a lower-body injury.
He didn’t do much after J.T. Miller was traded ... They’d have a hole at center if he’s dealt. Can’t see Thatcher Demko getting a long-term deal (one-year left on his contract) given ...
Like Miller, Mogilny had a 100+ point season with the Canucks, putting up 55 goals and 107 points in the 1995-96 season, which is fourth-best in franchise history. Mogilny also exited the Canucks with the second-best rate of points-per-game in franchise history at the time behind Bure and is now third behind Miller.
