Canucks Sign G Demko, F Garland to Extensions

GREATER VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUN 30 – Demko signed a three-year, $25.5 million deal and Garland a six-year, $36 million extension to keep key players locked before unrestricted free agency, ensuring roster continuity.

  • On July 1, 2025, the Vancouver Canucks secured goaltender Thatcher Demko with a new three-season contract worth $25.5 million and locked in forward Conor Garland with a six-season deal valued at $36 million.
  • Both players were entering the last year of their five-year agreements and were scheduled to enter free agency without restrictions after the upcoming season, prompting the team to secure their contracts ahead of time.
  • Demko, a Vezina finalist recovering from injury with a 10-8-3 record this season, and Garland, a consistent middle-six winger with 50 points, are core contributors to the Canucks.
  • Demko's new deal averages $8.5 million annually and Garland's $6 million, with both contracts starting in the 2026-27 season to provide long-term roster stability.
  • These signings demonstrate Vancouver's commitment to maintaining its core and building toward playoff contention despite current uncertainties about the team's future direction.
