Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I would float a name like Christian Ehrhoff, who was a complete shell after he left Vancouver. But his time here was truly something else. A true offensive defenceman unlike anything we've seen since. Maybe Brent Sopel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Some quality submissions so far. However,the first person who came to my mind was Rory "All-Star" Fitzpatrick. Crazy to think that people artificially ranked him alongside the likes of greats like Scott Niedermayer, Nick Lidstrom and Chris Pronger, and the campaign actually gained quite a bit of steam. However, solid as he was as a depth guy, and as much as it was a joke, he simply should not have gotten the votes. He had gone pointless in 18 games, and in short was John Scott before there was John Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overrated? Everyone always called him a pylon, even when he was playing..........but he was OUR pylon and we love him!!! Ballard..........what the hell happened anyway? I would say that the surgery he had prior to coming here screwed him up and he was never the same due to injury.......except.... I remember the first preseason game that year, it was a spliit squad thing, and it was split between vets and prospects, everyone was where you would expect except Ballard was on the PROSPECTS team At the time I found that to be really really weird and not something you do to a vet, not just a vet but a 40Pt. D man who hit like a truck, fought and rushed the puck like it was 1988 I remember thinking " Does A.V have something against this guy?" and then things unfolded as they did, I don't know what to make of it, but don't let anyone tell you Ballard played his way into the dog house He was in the dog house before he ever put on a Canucks Jersey, other guys could screw up have scoring droughts blow an assignment ect. it happened every game, but if by some miracle Ballard was in the line-up and did ANYTHING wrong he would get benched and scratched. There is something weird with Ballard's time here, there's more to the story than we will ever know, because NHL vets don't get treated like that unless someone doesn't like them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 4 hours ago, Kevin Biestra said: Who has been singing the praises of Keith Carney? This is exactly what I was thinking. The guy barely played for the Canucks. No one was hyped up about him... unless the OP is talking about Tood Bertuzzi look-alike. In that case, yes Carney was hyped up. Tryamkin hype, sure. I think at times it was a bit too much but I have to say that he is an intelligent player, which justified the hype. If you look at other big defence prospects in the past that never panned out, they were big and strong but did not have good hockey IQ. Tryamkin did possess good hockey IQ, not elite, but good enough to use his size to his advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
