The Vancouver Canucks have announced roster moves in advance of the 2 pm deadline for roster compliance. They'll keep one player on a PTO, release another and let Emerson Etem's weak camp send him to waivers.
That means Jake Virtanen, Jack Skille and Brendan Gaunce will all be on the opening night roster. Anton Rodin will start the season on IR (not LTIR, however), so he can be brought back sooner than 10 games, per Ben Kuzma.
Rodin will be placed on Injury Reserve — not Long Term Injury Reserve — to make him available sooner.
