Nave Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Forward: Bure... Bure in today's league would be unfair. Defense: Salo. We need his slapper. Goalie: Luongo. Best goalie we've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 My first reaction was Ohlund so thats probably who I would have to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlemonger Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Cam Neely or Jovocop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that draft placement matters, but by far the most underrated offensive D this team has ever had. If he had more luck and opportunity, he could've been in the HHOF. Can't agree with you . Paul Reinhart had over 50 goals his last year of Jr's - played D and C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We need skill, and a lot of it. That leaves only one logical choice. Hodgson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought his best work for the Canucks was helping to break in one of the two big acquisitions of (Milford? - heh, was so long ago.....) Hlinka & Bubla (both were from the country that Lanz & his family escaped from during the Cold War). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was scoring 50+ on bad knees in the clutch and grab era. I have watched every player the Canucks have ever had since Oct 9 n1970. Lots of players brought skill to this team. Bure was their best for me also but i asked what this team needs now from a former Canuck. And there are a lot of right answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 John Vanbiesbrouck. Undefeated during his time with the Canucks. Seriously though... If you go with BPA, it's Bure. If you go with positional need, it's Ohlund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that would never happen, since the Canucks were the only ones who did their homework, and knew that Bure was eligible to be in the draft. All the other clubs didn't think he was eligible or else he would've been picked a lot earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bure in his prime - and happy to play here with all the distractions with how he was treated by the old management team out of the picture?......priceless. Like the draft, the answer to the question is the same.....Take the best player available. (Then we could always trade this prime specimen for a #1 defenseman if we so chose to) But we probably wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You draft from the net out. If we have a great goalie prospect that is to be the next one (Demko) then we move on to phase 2. Drafting the best Defense man for our future roster. Draft for the style you want to play and draft as many of them as you can get. Unless Pavel is sitting there waiting to be taken I would exercise that this year for sure and maybe next Year. Forwards can be taken any year in many ways including free agency. Norris trophy candidates come from one place only and that's the draft.Please no more smurfs. Big Tough Scott Stevens types please.Id even take a Bieksa or a Hamhuis at this point. The forwards have some great prospects and we can still draft them in the future. This year there are D men we should be focused on awaiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrago Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There is only 1 choice in my opinion Bure. Is heads and tails the best player the Canucks have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petmar74 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Lots of great options. So I'm going with Mike Peca, for some more leadership and some playoff grit. This is, of course, after all the other players already mentioned. Fantasy, that none of the prementioned players have any severe injuries this time round. Maybe Manny for some faceoff skill?
