The Vancouver Canucks have submitted a list of players to the NHL as their black aces for when the season returns.
TSN’s Farhan Lalji tweeted the list Monday.
In the forward ranks, the Canucks requested Justin Bailey, Reid Boucher, Tyler Graovac, Kole Lind, and Sven Baertschi.
On the backend the team is looking to bring up Guillaume Brisebois, Jalen Chatfield, Olli Juolevi, Brogan Rafferty and Ashton Sautner while in net, Michael DiPietro would get the call.
Teams have already begun phase two with the Edmonton Oilers hosting a group of players for an on-ice workout Monday. No word yet on when the Canucks will open their facilities up.
