After knocking off the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks, the Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994. Ryan Kesler has been the breakout star for the team, notching clutch goals in each of the first three rounds.
Selected with the 23rd pick of the 2003 draft, Kesler has spent his entire NHL career thus far with Vancouver. A standout on the U.S. national squad, Kesler's other honors include a World Junior Championship and an Olympic silver medal.
Kesler rookie cards can be found at all price levels, ranging from the premium 2003-04 Parkhurst game-used jersey cards down to the much cheaper 2003-04 Topps Traded base card. Several serial-numbered issues from Pacific offer solid value options. However, the likely "must-have" rookie card of Kesler is his 2003-04 Upper Deck "Young Guns" card.
