  1. I really miss having d like Ohlund, Mitchell and Salo. They all brought something special to the lineup.

      Hindsight is 20/20 but I felt we should have matched LA's offer for Mitchell. The guy had Captain written all over him.

      Ohlund is still my favourite all time Canuck.

      Mitchell was my favourite actually, I wish we'd matched the offer too. I understand why we didn't, but I felt we should have. He wasn't flashy, but he was a rock in our end and he brought physicality to the back end. Nice guy as I met him in Nanaimo a month or so back, but he was almost intimidating on the ice.

       

      Salo may have had the better shot and better skating ability, but Ohlund had everything else Salo had and more. Not sure he ever hit his potential because of the eye injury but he's still the best D we've had so far imo. Size, defensive awareness, offensive instincts and physicality. Loved Salo too though, it's a fact we had a better record with him and he brought so much poise and a calming effect to our back end. Maybe Olli can bring that for us down the road.
