Tom Fergus. Acquired mid-season and formed part of an excellent secondary offensive line with Petr Nedved and Jim Sandlak, IIRC.

Fell off from there, but was great in that half season with the team.
That name is a sore spot for me. Protecting him in the 92 waiver draft over Igor who was in Switzerland for a season as an FU to the Russian Federation was a colossal mistake. I'm a big Pat Quinn guy but he screwed that situation up. San Jose snapped him up and he played another decade and won multiple cups. Throw Igor on the 94 team and get a different ref than Terry Gregson in Game 7 and we have a parade down East Hastings past the Astoria, The Pat and Pigeon Park.

Bure and Luongo is another “former Canucks who were teammates on other teams”. Any other prominent ones?

Panthers have a long history of having former Canucks. Sometimes through trade.

Like the 98-99 Panthers, not counting the Bure for Jovo swap of players, Ryan Johnson, Sean Burke, Kirk McLean, Mike Wilson, and random Canuck Herbert Vasiljevs were on that team.

Tehnically, Ohlund and Salo were on the same team after leaving the Canucks.

Sometimes players leave together and join the same team (e.g. Tanev and Markstrom)

Original 1970 Vancouver Canucks Ed Hatoum, the first player born in Lebanon to play in the NHL.

When we hosted a Canucks Alumni game back in 2018, he was the only original Canucks - and the oldest player in the group - to come along for the ride. One of our players accidentally collided with him along the boards, sending him crashing to the ice, and nearly had to fight John Craighead as a result.

Craighead - "THE f*** ARE YOU DOING?! THAT'S OUR OLDEST GUY!"
Our Guy - "Holy shit, it was an accident, I swear! And I'm our team's oldest guy!"

EDIT: Found the picture. Poor Ed.
