Dane Fox, LW

Age 20. Signed as a free agent.

With 64 goals in 67 games last season as a member of the Ontario Hockey League’s Erie Otters, Fox proved he is a demon around the net. He showed some nice hands at the Canucks’ development camp in early July, too. Will his game translate to the pro level?

Brendan Gaunce, C

Age 20. Drafted first round, 26th overall, in 2012.

The Canucks have taken four players in the first round since selecting Gaunce, so he is a bit of a forgotten man. He looked slimmer and faster in July than he did last fall. Is he best suited at centre, or on the wing, as a checker, or a scorer?

Hunter Shinkaruk, LW

Age 19. Drafted first round, 24th overall, in 2013.

He missed three-quarters of his final junior season due to major hip surgery but appears fully recovered. He is a player who thrives on his quickness and is a natural goal scorer. Even though Shinkaruk is a smallish player at 5-10, you can’t miss him when he’s on his game.

Jared McCann, C

Age 18. Drafted first round, 24th overall, in 2014.

McCann will eventually be heading back for another junior season in Sault Ste. Marie, but he’ll feel he has something to prove after slipping in the draft and not getting an invitation to Canada’s summer world junior camp. He claims he can agitate with the best, so everyone will be watching.

Cole Cassels, C

Age 19. Drafted third round, 85th overall, in 2013.

A pleasant surprise in Penticton last year, the son of former NHLer Andrew went on to have an excellent junior season with the Oshawa Generals. He had mono in the summer, however, and missed the end of the Canucks’ development camp. It remains to be seen whether he has sufficiently recovered.
