Overview

• Canucks management holds media day today before on-ice sessions run Sept. 18–21 at the South Okanagan Events Centre, with a Saturday scrimmage and a preseason game in Seattle on Sunday.
• Who skates with Elias Pettersson remains unsettled, with Jake DeBrusk or Evander Kane vying on the left and Brock Boeser or Conor Garland options on the right, including the possibility of Kane on his off wing.
• Prospects with the most to gain include defenseman Tom Willander, who could push for NHL duty, winger Vilmer Alriksson and defenseman Sawyer Mynio targeting AHL roles, and center Riley Patterson set to return to the OHL after a strong showcase.
• Former Stars coach Peter DeBoer publicly expressed regret for singling out goalie Jake Oettinger after last spring’s playoff exit; he is currently out of an NHL job and will serve as an assistant with Team Canada.
• Free-agent forward Jack Roslovic remains unsigned as camps begin, with reporter Frank Seravalli linking him to a potential return to the Carolina Hurricanes.
