Young was Vancouver's 2022 fifth-round pick (144th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks. The 19-year-old goaltender went 15-13-3 with a .889 SV% and 3.89 GAA with the Prince George Cougars (WHL) in 2022-23 and is expected to return to the team for the 2023-24 season.

Suter had 14 goals, 10 assists, six PIMs, 106 SOG, and a -3 plus/minus in 79 games played with Detroit in 2022-23 and has signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract ($1,600,000 AAV). The 27-year-old undrafted Swiss center came over to the NHL in 2020-21 and has 43 goals, 87 points, and 384 SOG in 216 career games across three seasons. He should provide much needed depth up the middle for the Canucks.

Hoglander was the No.40 overall pick in 2019 and joined the Canucks in 2021. Since then, he's posted 54 points (26G / 28A) in 141 career NHL games. However, he spent most of last season in the AHL after struggling with the Canucks early in the year. The 22-year-old had 32 points (14G / 18A) in 45 AHL games and will look to crack the NHL lineup out of training camp this fall.

Smith failed to pick up a point through four games in 2022-23 with Arizona but had four PIMs and two SOG and has signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV. The 24-year-old centre was acquired as part of the trade that included Bryan Little's salary dump in 2022 and has two goals and two assists in 14 NHL games throughout his career.

Nielsen had 14 goals, 27 assists, 60 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 64 games with Abbotsford (AHL) in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, two-way contract extension worth $870,000 AAV. The 23-year-old centre has yet to make his NHL debut after being acquired as an undrafted free agent from the Vancouver Giants (WHL) after the 2020-21 season.

Juulsen failed to pick up a point through 12 games played with Vancouver in 2022-23 but had six PIMs and five SOG and has signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Canucks. The 26-year-old defenseman was Montreal's 2015 1st round pick (26th overall) and has 10 points (2G/8A) through 68 career NHL games played.

The 2023 season was Brannstrom's first full NHL season, scoring two goals with 16 assists (18 points) in 74 games. Brannstrom is a quality offensive-defenseman but it will be hard for him to carve out a significant role with Thomas Chabot, Jakob Chychrun and Jake Sanderson ahead of him on the depth chart.

Woo had seven goals, 14 assists, 96 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through 68 games with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks. The deal is worth $775,000 if Woo were to play in the NHL and $100,00 if he stays in the AHL. The 22-year-old defensemen was the Canucks 2018 second round pick (37th overall).

Blueger has yet to appear in the 2022-23 playoffs but will make his debut Friday in Game 5 vs. Edmonton. The 28-year-old had four goals, 12 assists, 85 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 63 regular season games.

Forbort has missed Boston's previous 15 games due to a lower-body injury but will be back to play in Game 1 vs. the Florida Panthers Monday. The 31-year-old closed out his 2022-23 regular season with five goals, 12 points, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games played prior to his injury.

Forbort has been sidelined since March 16th but took part in practice over the weekend and could be back in the lineup for Game 1 on Monday. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so Matt Grzelcyk will play if Forbort is unavailable.

Juulsen failed to pick up a point in 12 games with Vancouver but had six PIMs and a +1 plus/minus and has been reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL) after clearing waivers Friday. The 26-year-old returns to the AHL just in time for the playoffs, as he had three goals, 20 points, 34 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 49 games prior to his call-up.

Wolanin had three assists, 16 SOG, four PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 16 games with Vancouver but will head back to Abbotsford (AHL) as the Canucks' season comes to a close. The 28-year-old returns to the minors, where he was on fire previously, with six goals, 55 points, and a +12 plus/minus in 49 games played.
