Ryan Kesler spent 10 seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, and he was instrumental in helping them emerge as a Western Conference powerhouse after the 2004-05 lockout.
The Canucks made the playoffs six times with Kesler, highlighted by a trip to the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. That same year, Kesler had a career-high 41 goals and won the Selke Trophy for the first (and only time up to date) in his career.
Kesler wound up registering six 20-goal seasons during his tenure in Vancouver, developing into one of the game’s elite two-way players. But the glorious tenure came to an end following a brutal 2013-14 season, where the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time in six years.
