Lol even though I was younger all I remember is him coughing the puck up all the time.. yes he brought other stuff to the game but could you imagine what this fan base would do to him now with social media?? Can't think of a coughing up the puck reference that rhymes with Murzyn though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Raymond, Ballard, 1st for [insert superstar player name here]' proposals speak for itself. Could say the same for Tanev as looking at the a lot of the proposals in our forums apparently him plus (insert random garbage or late round pick) will garner a Domi or Marner or SR. Tanev is a very good player but highly overrated in trade proposals in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlinkas wrister Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Lots of candidates here for the "worst" dman in Canucks history, but my vote for most overrated goes to Harold Snepsts. Tough guy, terrible hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media always views him as an asset that would fit on other teams' top pairs, so while he's not a top dog and he doesn't do one thing spectacularly (he does make blunders too and doesn't put up too many points) the fact is that he's there to anchor the blue line with Tanev and he munches up minutes that our young guys simply aren't ready to take up. On a transitioning team that's pretty invaluable if you ask me (as is the potential high return we can net for him in trades). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there has been a few but the most recent was yesterday or the day before in the proposal section... There were extras involved I believe a first going with Tanev and a second coming back with Marner which while being not as offside as Tanev alone for Marner would definitely not come close to value.

No overly hyped up guy. All underrated, especially Sbisa and Pedan. How about ex Canucks? Who do you guys think was the most overrated and why? Sami Salo? Nope, definitely not him. I'd say he was probably the most underrated of all time in terms of dman. Or at least top 3 canucks history... Mattias Ohlund? Not a chance! How about Aaron Rome? No way... The Romer is underrated and innocent! Was discriminated against in 2011! Keith Carney or Nikita Tryamkin IMO. Easy. Hands down. Never liked either to be honest. Both hyped up way too much. Wow. Someone is seriously butthurt. You sound like a jilted girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he and Juice were invaluable as a linchpin pairing on a defensive Canucks team, a Hammer and Juice pairing if you will before those two were ever on the ice as a pairing. His steady defense freed Juice up to be more aggressive offensively when the team as a whole struggled to score at times, plus he was also an alternate captain for a couple of seasons, was he not?

Rick Blight Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Garth Butcher. He had 92 points in 65 games his last year of Junior. He was supposed to be this offensive force and tough as nails when he came to the Canucks but never scored more than 23 points and 6 goals in a season for his entire NHL career.

Dr. Crossbar Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm going to mention, to a certain degree, Jovo ... even though he was one of my favorite Canucks back then. Loved when he was on and playing to his potential, and he was entertaining, but he was also a gaffe machine, inconsistent, and injury prone. He was kinda night and day. You never knew which Jovo you'd get. When he was great, he was really great. He could be a spark to change a game. But when he was bad, it was noticeable. When you stack him against others like Lidstrom, Pronger, Niedermayer, Gonchar, Jovo never reached that level when he was here, or broke out to lead his generation of younger Dmen as people expected. Maybe more frustrating than outrageously overrated because he had so much talent to be dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back now, I'm thinking THAT version of Jovo kinda got lost in the rush of Crawford's uptempo offensive style. Interesting ... Jovo and Crawford were here for the exact same length of time, same years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Terrible thread. I hate feeding frenzies at the expense of Canucks. Ironic that it was started by the biggest fairweather homer on CDC. hey apollo - get off Tryamkin's back - we have no idea in the end why he may have elected to do what he did - no shortage of perfectly valid reasons why he would/should do what he feels is best for himself and his family. and he may come back an even better, more confident young man. lots of players go to their homes (something you'd think a homer would understand) and then return to the NHL in due course. The Canucks still have his NHL rights. Reports are that it was a one year deal in the KHL - which doesn't exactly close any future doors. Most people don't consider the Canucks a contender next year. Far more drama than necessary - but hey, welcome to Vancouver - drama queen central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
