Canuck One Season Wonders

One Season Wonders

Sure, we all know that Markus Naslund recorded more points than any other Canuck.. But he had 12 seasons to compile those totals. What about the poor guys who only get one chance to show their stuff. These are the most prolific players who spent just a single season with the Canucks (and maybe not even a full season) listed in order of total points.

Notes
Mikael Samuelsson and Christian Ehrhoff played their first season with the Canucks in 2009-10. If either of them leaves the Canucks, they will be permanently added to this list. Mats Sundin was the only Canuck from 2008-09 that has been added to this list.
