Dhaliwal says the red flags aren't out and the expectation is that Demko will be ready for the start of the season. There was some expectation that the rehab would be done by now, but there are no signs that it will drag on through September/October.
Edit - That all said, I'd take Askarov for the right price because why wouldn't you?

Welp, not trending in the right direction, that's for sure:

Wednesday morning on Sportsnet 650, InGoal Magazine’s Kevin Woodley echoed what has been whispered behind the scenes but no one has been able to confirm, that the Vancouver Canucks’ No. 1 goalie may have had some sort of surgical procedure done at some point this summer.
But more crucially, Woodley indicated he doesn’t expect Demko will be ready to start training camp in a month’s time in Penticton.

Official line is that its all a-ok still, but seems like there's a lot of smoke...

Sportsnet’s Iain MacIntyre later reported on X that the team “officially still expects Thatcher Demko to be ready for regular season.” But it’s hard to get any answers out of the team’s braintrust right now on what they might be thinking about the status of Demko, who hurt his knee early in the playoffs and never returned — though he appeared nearly ready to return to action when the Canucks were eliminated in the second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs by the Edmonton Oilers.
