The Vancouver Canucks don’t have a storied history of players that have hit the century mark in points. But the ones that have are some of the best of all time, including fan favourites that have their jerseys retired in the rafters of Rogers Arena.
Here’s a look at the seven players who have reached the 100-point milestone while playing in Vancouver.
Pavel Bure
2-Time Member of the Canucks 100-Point Club
Recorded 110 points (60 goals, 50 assists) in 83 games in 1992-93
Recorded 107 points (60 goals, 47 assists) in 76 games in 1993-94
Pavel Bure was the first player to hit the 100-point mark in a Canucks sweater, doing so in 1992-93, his second season in the NHL. He finished with 110 points in 83 games, but scored his 100th point on April 1, 1993, against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was also his 56th goal of the season, scored shorthanded on Pat Jablonski. The 110 points he recorded still sit second all-time behind Henrik Sedin’s 112 he got in 2009-10.

Bure’s second entry in the 100-point club came during the 1993-94 season when he scored 107 points in 76 games and helped the Canucks get to the Stanley Cup Final. This time, his 100th came on March 28, 1994, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Part of a two-point effort, his 54th goal got him to 99 points and his 46th assist on Murray Craven’s game-winner in overtime got him to 100.
After those back-to-back 100-point seasons, Bure couldn’t get close to the century mark again, except for his final campaign in Vancouver when he recorded 90 points in 82 games. He was traded to the Florida Panthers after the 1997-98 season and ended up hitting 94 and 92 points in the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons respectively, but never 100 again. He finished his career with the New York Rangers at 31 years old.
He ranks seventh on the Canucks’ all-time scoring list with 478 points (254 goals, 224 assists) in 428 games, and had his No. 10 jersey retired on Nov. 2, 2013.
Alex Mogilny
Member of the Canucks 100-Point Club
Recorded 107 points (55 goals, 52 assists) in 79 games in 1995-96
No one on the Canucks could get 100 points in 1994-95, but after arriving from the Buffalo Sabres during the offseason, Alex Mogilny became the second player to hit 100 points in the orange and black posting 107 points. It was also his second entry in the club overall as he recorded 127 points with the Sabres back in 1992-93…
