Round 1
0. Elias Petterson (New Jersey Devils) (Details: Absolutely the best player the Canucks have drafted in any round in the 21st Century, let alone the first round.).
0. Quinn Hughes (New York Rangers) (Details: Again, pretty obvious choice.).
0. Ryan Kesler (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: One of the best Canucks of all-time. Shame his career was cut a fair bit short.).
0. Bo Horvat (Colorado Avalanche from Ottawa Senators) (Details: I'm pretty sure the Canucks are pretty happy with the return they got for Horvat.).
0. Cory Schneider (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Does anyone remember a time when this guy was one of the best goalies in the NHL? I tend to forget that sometimes.).
0. Brock Boeser (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: I'm sure he'll bounce back soon enough.).
0. Jared McCann (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Nothing against Jared McCann, but the Canucks could've drafted DAVID PASTRNAK with that pick. Honestly, I don't think the universe could withstand a world where Pasta played for the Canucks.).
0. RJ Umberger (Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Before I made this list, I had no idea Umberger was a Canucks pick.).
0. Michael Grabner (Anaheim Ducks).
10. Vasily Podkolzin (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: I still see quite a bit of potential in this guy.).
0. Cody Hodgson (Arizona Coyotes from Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: The Canucks have drafted 6 all-stars with their first round picks, but only 10 consistent NHL players).
0. Jake Virtanen (Minnesota Wild).
0. Jordan Schroeder (Florida Panthers).
0. Brendan Gaunce (Philadelphia Flyers from Arizona Coyotes).
0. Olli Juolevi (Montreal Canadiens).
0. Nicklas Jensen (Colorado Avalanche).
0. Hunter Shinkaruk (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: Who?).
0. Luc Bourdon (Dallas Stars) (Details: Rest in peace, man.).
0. Nathan Smith (Ottawa Senators from Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Just to clarify, this is a different Nathan Smith than the player on the Coyotes.).
0. Patrick White (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: This was the only Canucks first round pick on this list to not play an NHL game at all.).
