Could you imagine the 70s Canucks with Lanny McDonald, Rick Middleton, and Mike Bossy instead of Dennis Ververgaert, Bob Daily, and Jere Gillis?
Could you imagine the 80s Canucks with Al MacInnis, Mark Messier, and Glenn Anderson instead of Garth Butcher, Ken Ellacott, and Art Rutland?
Hindsight and handwringing is pointless and myopic nellying, never mind the fact that the players are barely 20 years old yet.
