You could argue that Thatcher Demko and Elias Pettersson are the two most important players for the Vancouver Canucks next season. Yes...we know Quinn Hughes is the Canucks BEST player, but everyone expects him to be brilliant. There are a lot more question marks with the 2024's Vezina runner up, and "The Alien," who received Hart votes in 2023 and has made the NHL All-Star Game in four of his seven NHL seasons. Beggsy and Bhawan break down the cases for which player has the better chance of ste...
