Plenty of former Vancouver Canucks have carved out successful careers around the world after leaving the organization. Whether playing for some of the best teams in Europe or excelling in non-traditional hockey markets, these one-time Canucks continue to apply their trade outside of North America. Today, we look at forward Tyler Graovac, who spent the 2024-25 season with the Kunlun Red Star in the KHL.
Graovac joined Vancouver ahead of the 2019-20 season. He signed as a free agent after spending time with the Calgary Flames, Washington Capitals and Minnesota Wild. Graovac made his Canucks debut on November 14, 2019, against the Dallas Stars, while scoring his first goal with Vancouver on November 21, 2019, against the Nashville Predators.
During his two seasons with the Canucks, Graovac played 22 NHL games, recording five goals and six points. He also spent time in the AHL with the Utica Comets and Manitoba Moose. Up until this point in his career, Graovac has played 84 games at the NHL level and 340 in the AHL.
