After Monday’s announcement, Igor Larionov, Pavel Bure and Pat Quinn remain the only Canucks in the Hockey Hall of Fame. (OK, Mark Messier too, but, well, you know.)

Larionov went in 2008. After starring for the Soviet national team and for Central Red Army in the Soviet league, he began his NHL career in Vancouver. As an NHLer, though, he is mostly remembered for his play in Detroit, where he was part of three Stanley Cup winning teams.

Bure was the first player truly remembered as a former Canuck to be enshrined when he went in 2012, along with Adam Oates, Joe Sakic and Mats Sundin.

Pat Quinn was inducted last year, two years after he passed away, as a builder.

The current list of Canucks “possibles” is pretty distinguished: Alex Mogilny, for one, has been batted about for several seasons now as a possible future Hall of Famer.

The enigmatic Russian played nearly five seasons for the Canucks from 1995 to 2000. He also played for the Sabres, the Devils and the Maple Leafs, scoring 473 goals along the way; that’s more than 2017 inductee Paul Kariya.
