4. Alexander Edler
Alexander Edler played in 925 games for the Canucks from 2006 to 2021. He signed with the Kings in 2021 and played last season with the team. During his time with the Canucks, the defenseman played in some pretty big situations as one of their top defensemen, and he managed to put up 409 points with the team, the tenth-best total in franchise history.
Edler is fourth on the team in playoff games and has not been someone afraid of playing physical in his own end throughout his career. While Edler might fall of this list eventually thanks to young up-and-coming players like Quinn Hughes, he is still someone that spent a lot of time making the Canucks better, which is part of the reason why he and the Canucks went to the postseason eight times during his career with the team.
3. Trevor Linden
Trevor Linden is one of the best Vancouver Canucks of all time. He is third in the team’s history with 1140 games played and third in goals with 318. Linden played for the team on and off throughout his entire career initially from 1988 through 1997 and again from 2001 through 2008. During his time with the team he put up 733 points, and he was named captain of the Canucks at the age of 21.
Linden has also spent a lot of time in off-ice positions throughout the NHL. At one point he was the NHLPA president and in 2014 he became president of hockey operations for the Canucks, a position he held until 2018.
