Ryan Johnson Gives Hint Into What The Canucks' Goaltending Plan May Look Like This Year

The Vancouver Canucks are navigating a crowded crease as they manage four netminders who all require waivers to move to the minors, creating a risk of losing someone for nothing. Thatcher Demko will open the campaign on the injured reserve list while he recovers, leaving Kevin Lankinen, Nikita Tolopilo, and newcomer Leevi Merilainen competing for spots.

General manager Ryan Johnson noted that carrying a three-goalie system presents unique challenges for the players and the organization alike. Management faces critical roster decisions following their upcoming match as they evaluate whether Tolopilo might be exposed to waivers.
