Ilya Mikheyev - Status uncertain for Opening Night Mikheyev (knee) will not dress for either of Vancouver's final two preseason games and his status for Opening Night is "up in the air," Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Impact Mikheyev is still recovering from last season's ACL surgery and missed a handful of days in camp due to personal reasons. He won't see any game action before the start of the regular season and it's currently unclear when the team expects him to get back in the lineup. The 28-year-old scored 13 goals and 28 points in 46 games last season.

Chase Wouters - Placed on waivers Wouters was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of reassignment to the AHL.
Impact Wouters tallied eight goals and 25 points in 70 games with AHL Abbotsford last season. If he clears waivers, the 23-year-old center will start the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL again as he looks to make his NHL debut at some point this season.

John Stevens - Cut loose from PTO Stevens was released from his professional tryout agreement with Vancouver on Sunday and sent to AHL Abbotsford.

Zach Sawchenko - Lands on waivers Sawchenko was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Abottsford.
Impact Sawchenko signed a two-way deal with the Canucks in the offseason after posting a 17-18-3 record with an .895 save percentage with AHL Chicago last year. The 25-year-old netminder will begin the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL again if he clears waivers.

Aidan McDonough - Going to minors McDonough was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact McDonough picked up one goal and seven hits in six outings with Vancouver last season. He also had 20 goals and 38 points in 34 contests for Northeastern University in 2022-23 prior to turning pro. McDonough is poised to see his first action at the AHL level this campaign.

Jack Rathbone - Added to waivers Rathbone was placed on waivers for the purpose of reassignment to AHL Abottsford on Sunday.
Impact Rathbone played 11 games with Vancouver last season, tallying a goal and an assist. The 24-year-old defenseman has bounced between the AHL and NHL for the past three seasons, and he'll likely serve a similar depth role this year if he clears waivers.

Sheldon Dries - Lands on waivers Dries was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Abbotsford.
Impact Dries tallied career highs in goals (11) and points (17) in 63 games last year, but it appears he'll open the 2023-24 season with AHL Abottsford if he clears waivers. Dries figures to be one of the first men up should Vancouver need additional forward depth this year.

Akito Hirose - Dropped to AHL Hirose was sent to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Hirose contributed three assists, four shots on goal, six blocked shots and six hits in seven outings with Vancouver last season.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Vasily Podkolzin - Demoted to AHL Podkolzin was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Irwin - Placed on waivers Irwin was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the AHL on Sunday.
