The Vancouver Canucks have made a decision involving a pair of injured defenseman in the organization ahead of the National Hockey League's opening night roster submission deadline on Monday.
On Monday afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks officially unveiled their roster to start the 2025-26 season, which includes 2025 first round pick Braeden Cootes, along with fellow prospect Aatu Raty, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Elias Pettersson and Arshdeep Bains.
There weren't a ton of surprises on Vancouver's roster, even with the moves made by Patrik Allvin & Co. over the weekend, aside from the decision to assign Victor Mancini to the American Hockey League, and as we inch closer to the start of the new campaign, the Canucks announced some news regarding a pair of injured defensemen.

In their press release where they announced the team's roster, the Vancouver Canucks announced that defensemen Guillaume Brisebois and Jett Woo will begin the season as «Injured Non-Roster» or as PuckPedia has it listed - Season Opening Injured Reserve (SOIR).

Brisebois, 28, signed a one-year deal in late June to remain with the Vancouver Canucks after helping their AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks, claim their first-ever Calder Cup in team history.
However, heading into training camp, the team got some bad news about the Longueuil, Quebec native, who they drafted all the way back in 2015, as it was revealed he was going to be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to fix a lower-body injury he sustained.
#Canucks say Guillaume Brisebois has had surgery to repair a lower body injury. He is out indefinitely. Jeff Paterson of Canucks Army said last month.
As for Jett Woo, who wasn't named to the team's training camp roster in September, he reportedly suffered a wrist injury during Abbotsford's run to the Calder Cup Playoffs, with Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie & Dhali reporting that the 25-year-old will likely be out until late-October.
Everyone here at Canucks Daily are hoping that Guillaume Brisebois & Jett Woo are doing well in their respective injury recoveries and that they'll be able to return to the ice, and help Abbotsford toward back-to-back Calder Cups, very soon.
