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.
