Canucks currently have the third least cap space in the NHL with $0.47m.

This will change drastically if the roster can have a sustained period of health.

Lekkerimaki = 24 games
Pettersson = 28 games
Mancini = 31 games
Raty = 48 games
Karlsson = 29 games (27 reg. & 2 playoffs)
Cootes = 0 games

Canucks have announced Pierre-Olivier Joseph has been placed on IR retroactive to September 30th.

This leaves the Canucks with about $0.47m in cap space.

I wrote an article speculating this situation on Sunday.

From the 1970 to 1985 drafts, the Canucks first pick made their NHL debuts in that same season.

Dan Woodley was the first to not make the NHL immediately. Was drafted in 1986 but did not make his NHL debut until 1987.

Canucks could paper down D-Petey & Lekkerimaki then recall them for Thursday's game.

The new rules for sending players to the AHL do not start until Oct. 10th. Afterwards, all players sent to the AHL must play at least one game there before they can recalled.

Final rosters must be submitted by 2pm PST today.

For teams utilizing LTIR, there will be subsequent moves in the coming days to maximize their LTIR space.

For the Canucks, there are various moves they can make to maximize cap accrual for the next couple of days.

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

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.

Exactly this. I wouldn't be shocked if there's an IR placement and Mancini is recalled in short order.

Canucks News Summaries @vcanucksnews.bsky.social · 3d

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.

Canucks did not place anyone on waivers.

Most likely scenario is that Forbort or POJ will start the season on IR.

Canucks would only need to send one player down tomorrow with Willander being the most likely candidate.
