Craig Coxe

I don't remember ever watching him play, although I must have several times. I had his 1992 Pro Set card from just after he went to San Jose in the expansion draft. One of those players like Brock Nelson who looked like he was born in the wrong century

Craig Coxe was awesome. Look up his Probert fights. He was one tough SOB.

I remember him doing a whole lot of nothing? Am I mis-remembering?

Chris Joseph. One of a few Canucks who had two different tours with the team, and it book-ended the rough patch of the 90s. He was first with the team in 96-97, when the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time in several years, and then returned to the team in the 99-00 season, the last time the Canucks would miss the playoffs for several more years.

Best unsigned, undrafted player in Europe. Destined to play with the Sedin's and we got him!

Speaking of Sedin linemates...

Jesse Schultz.

Signed by the Canucks' organization as a free agent. Worked his way up from the ECHL, to a bottom six forward in the AHL, then had a 37-goal season in 05-06. Dave Nonis touted him as a potential wingman for the Twins, and he played with them through training camp, IIRC, and started the 06-07 season with the team. I think the press was salivating at another potential Alex Burrows-esque success story. But, he played in just 2 games - his only two in the NHL - before going back to the minors.

Ended up having a lengthy and decent minor-pro career - some productive AHL seasons, a few seasons in Sweden, Germany, Italy and the UK, several seasons in the CHL, before finishing back off in the ECHL. He only retired in 2022.

That season he had in the lockout strengthened AHL was impressive, but i think he couldn’t skate.

I think he had 3 assists in his last game as a Canuck shortly after turning pro after his Kitchener Rangers season ended.

His son was one of the kids killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
