We are back with another edition
of the Canucks Weekly Prospect Report where I dig into all the latest stats,
rumours, gossip, news, achievements, and even made up stories from around the
different junior hockey leagues. We look into the play of all (non-AHL) Canucks prospects from the CHL, NCAA, Europe, and
even the ECHL.
Without further ado, continue
past the jump to see what went down!

  • Thatcher Demko
    and Boston College is finished for the year as they lost 2-5 to Denver.  Demko made 23 of 27 saves and
    his .925 on the year sees him finish 19th
    in NCAA standings
    .  He is eligible to be signed by the Canucks
    but this would require him leaving school – something that Benning said at the
    draft is not something they intend to have happen.  I would expect to see Demko return for
    another year of college.
