You called it!

Feels very strange that the player they got in exchange for the player they got in exchange for Alex Burrows is still a rookie.

I don’t think the roster is settled yet. Possible there’s an IR placement later in the week and Mancini comes back up.

If I had to pick one waiver-exempt player to make the Canucks this year, it was Jonathan Lekkerimaki. Glad to see it happening.

I've updated the article to account for Mancini and Willander getting sent to Abbotsford.

In short, Canucks will be around $1.33m in cap space but if a player is put on IR, and another recalled, Canucks will have around $0.47m.

Analyzing the Canucks’ cap situation heading into NHL roster finalization

With the final roster due on Monday, October 6th, it’s time to look at the Vancouver Canucks‘ salary cap situation heading into the season. There are several camp battles and trade rumours that could change the Canucks’ salary heading into their season opener on Thursday, October 9th, against the Calgary Flames. The maximum roster size…

With today's roster moves, #Canucks 2025-2026 opening roster will be:

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 3d

Hypothetically. But unlikely, I think.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 3d

Looks like the final two #Canucks cuts are Victor Mancini and Tom Willander.

Curious to see if this remains the case until opening night, or if Mancini is back up after some further shuffling.

That is also possible, if they are more than just banged up.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 3d

I believe so.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 3d

No #Canucks on waivers today means that Arshdeep Bains, Linus Karlsson, Aatu Raty, and P-O Joseph will all be on the opening day roster. The last two cuts must be made from the waiver-exempt crowd...meaning two of Braeden Cootes, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Tom Willander, Victor Mancini, and EP25.

On NHL waivers today.

Elias Junior Pettersson is back on the bench. A late arrival to start the period, but he's there.

Had left late in the second after taking that hard hit from Podkolzin.

Tough break for EP25 on an unfortunate hit there. Awful timing in more ways than one.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 5d

Elias Pettersson really throwing the body around out there. And not the one you think!

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 5d

What a shot. Quite wild that on a Canucks team with Pettersson, Boeser, and Kane, it might be Jonathan Lekkerimaki might have the best shot of them all.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 5d

I could honestly see the Canucks going with this as the opening night forward lineup. Put P-O Joseph on waivers, roll with Raty and Karlsson as extras for now.

Well said and agreed x2. No spoilers, but this latest episode really showed that off.

Might be a hot take, but I think John Cena deserves an Emmy for the work he's doing in #Peacemaker. Still hard to believe sometimes that that's really JOHN CENA! on the screen.

What stuck out most on EP40's goal was that he took SEVERAL rips at that one timer before he scored on the last one. He was never gonna stop until that red goal light went off.
He's back and ready. #Canucks

Literally me, right down to the both teams.

Stephan Roget @stephanroget.bsky.social · 7d

I really don't think the #Canucks would waive Aatu Raty, but it's nice to see him playing out there like his job is on the line all the same.

Seems like a good time to re-up this recent @canucksarmy.bsky.social piece I did on the implications of a Nils Hoglander injury on the cap and roster, now that he's confirmed to be out for 8-10 weeks. #Canucks

Exploring the Canucks IR/LTIR options with Nils Höglander’s injury

NHL injuries are a lot like Thanos. They’re inevitable, they get in the way of even the best-laid plans, and they’re often purple. The first major injury of the NHL season for the Vancouver Canucks just went to Nils Höglander, and it just might be one of the purple variety. The early word is…
