The Canuck Way continues its series looking at the best Vancouver Canucks at every number. This time we look at No.2.
Mattias Ohlund’s career with the Canucks got off to a rather unusual start. He was drafted by the team with the 13th overall selection in the 1994 NHL Draft. Four years later and set to re-enter the 1997 Draft, he signed a five-year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $10 million. The Canucks had one week to match the offer and elected to.
He joined the Canucks to start the 1997-98 season.
