Thatcher Demko and Conor Garland have extended their contracts with the Vancouver Canucks, solidifying their roles within the team for the upcoming seasons. Demko's new contract spans three years and is worth $25.5 million, while Garland's deal extends over six years for a total of $36 million. Both players were poised to hit free agency after the upcoming season, but this early commitment illustrates the team's desire to maintain their core talent.

Demko, a finalist for the Vézina Trophy last year, faced challenges during the last season due to injuries but remains a key player for Vancouver. Meanwhile, Garland contributed significantly with a solid 50-point season and is recognized as a vital part of the Canucks' forward lineup.
