The Vancouver Canucks named their latest cuts from camp Wednesday, which included 2016 first-round pick Olli Juolevi.
Juolevi will be sent back to the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. The Canucks plucked him with the fifth overall selection in June after he recorded nine goals and 42 points in 57 games in his rookie OHL season.
The club also sent forward Dmitry Zhukenov back to junior, assigned Joseph LaBate and Borna Rendulic to the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League, and released forward James Sheppard from his professional tryout contract.
