Have The Vancouver Canucks Ever Developed a Legit Superstar?


Pasific Coluseum

Recommended Posts

With the whole Hodgson fiasco behind us and Jordan Schroeder looking to be a bust if he doesn't make the team this year I'm really worried about our cupboard being empty.

While Kassian may turn out to be a quality player I still have my reservations on him. If he does live up to his potential I see him being like Keith Primeau type not Eric Lindross.

The only player that we have truly developed into a mega superstar is Pavel Bure.

Schneider has the potential but only time will tell.

The point I'm trying to get at is that our organization has drafted abysmally. Look at Philadelphia, now they have future SUPERSTARS IN THE MAKING.

And by superstar I mean top 5 player in the league i.e CROSBY, MALKIN, WEBBER, GIROUX, OVECHKIN

The Sedins are very good players but they are not SUPERSTARs. The only reason they are so great is because they feed off each and have chemistry. We saw Henrick wasn't as good when Daniel was injured.

players like Crosby,Malkin and Ovechkin would have been superstars regardless, they were "superstars" before they got drafted.

They weren't really "developed" I don't think Webber was really either. Not sure about Giroux.

Not our fault we don't suck enough to get number draft picks.

What about Edler? He is just about enter his prime. He will be one of the biggest stars on our team soon. I also think Kesler had one bad year

with injuries and everybody is ready to trade him for a bag of pucks. How can people be so unhappy with a team that has given us so much excitement

over the past few years?
