30 teams with 23 active players each. 30 * 23 = 690 players. This doesn't include any players on IR though. Other players can be called up to replace them and the IR players don't count towards the 23 man roster limit. Teams are only allowed to play 20 players in any game. The normal breakdown is 12 forwards (4 lines), 6 defensemen (3 pairings) and 2 goaltenders. The other 3 players on their roster are "scratches" and are not allowed to participate in that game.
If your talking about the NHL Vancouver Canucks, which I assume you are, there are two answers. In the expansion draft which is a draft where teams can pick the players that make up their team when the enter the league the Canucks picked 24-year old stay at home defenseman Gary Doak. If you mean in the NHL Entry Draft, the Canucks lost the spin of the wheel to the Buffalo Sabres and ended up picking 2nd Overall in the 1970 NHL Entry Draft. The Canucks picked 19-year old defender Dale Tallon.
