JE14 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Last I checked, Bure never led the league in points.He wasn't even within 10 points at his best with the Canucks Bure - 1.12 PPG H. Sedin - .83 PPG Those numbers are purely with the Canucks (for Bure). Link to comment
Otis Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 OTTS confirmed Hero #ClearlyHero I'll silence you. Sounds fun Link to comment
Aladeen Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bure - 1.12 PPG H. Sedin - .83 PPG Those numbers are purely with the Canucks (for Bure). I really don't care one way or the other but you can't compare the ppg of players from the ridiculously high scoring 90s to the leaps and strides made in defense and goaltending in the last decade or so. Not a fair comparison at all.... Henrik peaking in the mid to late 90s = way way higher PPG. Link to comment
Otis Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'd be pretty upset if Gillis was still the GM come draft day. Gillis' fault the sedins have become 45 point players, Edler becoming the worst defenseman in the nhl, Luongo being a feline and Hansen needing a brain transplant. fer sure. Link to comment
VICanucksfan5551 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bure - 1.12 PPG H. Sedin - .83 PPG Those numbers are purely with the Canucks (for Bure). Pierre Turgeon - 1.03 Rocket Richard - 0.99 Comparing raw totals without historical context is fun Link to comment
JE14 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pierre Turgeon - 1.03 Rocket Richard - 0.99 Comparing raw totals without historical context is fun Bure was one of the best goalscorers of his era. You can't realistically consider Henrik one of the best players of his era. Pulling random stats is fun. Link to comment
Dral Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've stopped watching the Canucks. I've also stopped going into canucks talk. Please, if you're going to talk about them, put it in spoilers. Thanks. Link to comment

g_bassi13 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This forum keeps glitching out. For about an hour I couldn't access CDC from my computer, and had to start using my phone, which miraculously worked. And now I'm back just in time for the midnight blackout, lol. Link to comment

Gillis' fault we gave up futures for a dud in Ballard. Gillis' fault he botched the goaltending situation. Gillis' fault his drafting has largely sucked. Gillis' fault he didn't address an obvious deficiency up front in the offseason. Gillis' fault he did nothing at the trade deadline when it was obvious the team needed to get dismantled, etc. Bure was one of the best goalscorers of his era. You can't realistically consider Henrik one of the best players of his era. Pulling random stats is fun. Henrik was one of the best passers of his era. Only Thornton and Crosby could arguably be considered better. Bure led the league in goals once as a Canuck while Henrik led the league in assists three seasons in a row in addition to his Art Ross and 4th place finish in scoring. Link to comment

Caboose Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Didn't you hear? The Sedins donated all their skill to the Phil Kessel 50 goal season fund. Link to comment
VICanucksfan5551 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 wot Outside of Hodgson, the Gillis years have yet to produce a single top 6 forward/top 4 defenceman/starting goalie (obviously too early to tell for some picks). There hasn't been anything close to the obvious abortion that was the 2007 draft, but there have been way too many headscratching picks like Sauve and Mallet in the early rounds. Link to comment
Master 112 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We should just do a mass role claim tbh. Link to comment

There hasn't been anything close to the obvious abortion that was the 2007 draft, but there have been way too many headscratching picks like Sauve and Mallet in the early rounds. I agree. It's been questionable for the most part. But in the coming years some of the players he's drafted will find a place in the NHL. I did really like the last draft though, after his first pick, which I really didn't. I think Shinkaruk, Subban, and Cassels were solid picks in the positions they were taken. No guarantee that they'll pan out, but I think each has some solid potential. Link to comment
