Surprised this hasn't been discussed more. The Canucks are incredibly brutal at drafting and developing since the 04 lockout... The only players that have played NHL games and are worth mentioning are Raymond (456 games, not resigned), Grabner (283 games, traded with a 1st rounder for Ballard who they bought out) and Hodgson (211 games, traded for Kassian, who blows).
That's it! Schroeder's 56 games and 15 points is their next best developed player.
