Name a random Canuck

Also shout out to Mike Brown for getting traded for Nathan McIver who they'd lost on waivers earlier the same year.

Is there a more random/obscure player to have spent an entire season on a Canucks roster than Marc Michaelis?

Wasn't he on/off the taxi squad or however all of that worked, though?

Victor Oreskovich.

When he stuck to the lineup in 2011 because the bodies were piling up, I knew it was over...

Still don’t believe he actually existed.

Kay Whitmore

Remember he had a segment on the Canucks show "winning spirit" or something. Kooking with Kay?

Speaking of Kay Whitmore...

John Vanbiesbrouck

At the completion of his first season in Florida (1993), he played in 57 games posting a 21–25–11 record, registering a 2.53 GAA, and his career best save percentage of .924 ranked him second in the league. Vanbiesbrouck was named a Second Team NHL All-Star and was shortlisted for the Hartand Vezina Trophies.

1995 Florida Panthers would go on to compete for the Stanley Cup
Vanbiesbrouck's record

GP	W	L	MIN	GA	SO	GAA	SV%
22	12	10	1332	50	1	2.25	.932

We literally picked up John Vanbiesbrouck for the purpose of protecting Kay Whitemore from the Florida expansion draft. It worked. Whitmore had one decent season with us as a backup and there was more gas in the tank for Beezer who was stupidly let go from the Rangers in the first place.

(2007 playoffs. Dallas scores a goal in the first game of the series against the Canucks. Beezer screams out as the color guy calling Dallas "that's championship quality heart". Beezer does not call another game in this series. Canucks win the series over the Stars 4-3.)

I love that the Canucks have had more than one ~25 year old player just be like "ehhhh, actually this kind of sucks I'm going to go work in finance instead."

Not only did they pick up John Vanbiesbrouck just so they could lose him in the expansion draft, but they traded Doug f***ing Lidster for him.

Josh Holden

Canucks first rounder 12th overall. The Regina Pats goal scorer had superb potential but never lived up to the hype. Always remembered watching him for the Canadian world juniors.
