The worst coach was a close one, Laforge definitely had some argument to it but the overall upvote count was higher for Keenan. When I counted the overall upvotes this morning, it accounted to:
Keenan: 554
Laforge: 415
Therefore the worst coach of all time goes to Keenan

John Vanbiesbrouck. Well, he not so much played for us, but he was officially a Canuck before getting claimed by Florida in the expansion draft.

Fuck Mark Messier.

Sam Gagner. Lived in Oil Country for a while and he is a household name with Edmonton that I was actually surprised and had forgotten he was a canuck temporarily

Obviously Mats Sundin.
Sam Gagner but with the caveat I actually saw Gagner score a goal assisted by the Sedins live inside Rogers Arena in 2018 🤣
I’m gonna say Petr Nedved as well. Even though he started his career with us he was gone by the 1994 run and therefore never really cemented himself as a member of the early 1990s Canucks even though… he actually was. He’s more of a Pittsburgh penguin to me
Anderson didn’t outright “play” for us, but we did sign him as a FA in 1996. The Oilers picked him off waivers three days later. And yes, this was mid-season. So it depends on how you define “played”.

Glenn Anderson.
He was claimed on waivers before he could play his first game. I only saw him practice with the Canucks once.
Here’s the backstory from his Wikipedia post 1994-95 lockout:
“Anderson signed with the Canucks as a free agent. His reasons for joining the team were because of former Oiler teammate Esa Tikkanen already playing there and a desire to finish his career in his hometown.[41] However, Anderson never played for the Canucks as the Oilers picked him up on re-entry waivers.[5] Anderson expressed his disappointment at these turn of events, as he wanted to play in Vancouver instead.”
So… he technically never played for us but did practice with the team and was officially a member for a minute.

[Esa Tikkanen](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/leftwinger-esa-tikkanen-of-the-vancouver-canucks-looks-on-news-photo/278723) and Glenn Anderson. Yes, the two other Oilers we loved to hate.
