The 25-year-old Dylan Ferguson is from B.C. and played in the KHL for Dinamo Minsk last season.
The Vancouver Canucks have added another goaltender to their roster ahead of training camp but not the one that people were expecting.
Whether it was because the Canucks couldn't offer Lankinen a big enough contract without being forced to use LTIR or because Demko's injury rehab is progressing more positively than anticipated, the Canucks appear to have gone in a different direction with their need for more goaltenders. Ferguson was born in Vancouver and grew up as a Canucks fan in Lantzville, B.C. He even skated on the Rogers Arena ice alongside Roberto Luongo for the national anthems as an 11-year-old back in 2010. He was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the seventh round in 2017 but was traded two days later to the Vegas Golden Knights as part of a deal for Marc Methot.
It took over five years for Ferguson to get his next game but it was a memorable one. By then he was with the Ottawa Senators organization and was called up with Cam Talbot injured. Ferguson made the first NHL start of his career and made 48 saves on 49 shots in a 2-1 victory. He played one more game for the Senators, making 30 saves on 34 shots in a loss, before heading back down to the Belleville Senators in the AHL.
