E Street Band Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The Sedins are definitely in my top 5-10 all time favourite canucks as is Pavel Bure. I Am not against non Canadian born players taking up roster spots either, however I am not in favour of having maybe 1 Canadian born player on our first 2 lines (Burrows) and that's if Burrows is even there as it's sometimes Hansen. 1. Daniel. Hank. Vrbata 2. Highins, Bonino, Burrows Also filling out our roster includes 3 more Euro's on defense not to mention all 5 top goalies in our system (miller, lack, markstrom, ericsson, demko). I Think each team needs a bit of diversity and whichever players can best fill out a roster should make the team but wouldn't it be nice to have a little bit more of the home grown boys from our backyard representing us? I Mean nobody dreams of winning the stanley cup from such a young age as canadian boys do. Just my opinion. Love that Virtanen, guance, mccann and hunter do just that. Keep it going Benning.

RonMexico Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ugh. You either can play or you can't. What nationality you are has zero bearing on it. Points leader - Czech Best Goalie - Finn Rookie points leader - Swede The one thing that Canucks have failed at is drafting from the Dub...especially when we have a Jr team right in our own backyard but never seem to get anyone from it.

E Street Band Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 My fav all time player was LaFontaine, an American. I Love Datsyuk's wizardry, Forsberg going beast mode, Selanne's speed and precision and Jagr's dew BUT come on..... Hardly a Canadian in our top 6?? Not winning a cup that way, not with this collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E Street Band Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 The LA Kings.... Captain Brown Is American and huge contributors Kopitar and Gaborik also non canadian but really when you look at the Kings they were very deep with several key Canadians including Carter, Richards, williams, Stoll, Pearson, Toffoli AND most importantly one Drew Doughty. How about one year ealier with Chicago winning...Sure Hossa and Kane are non canadian studs and Saad is well on his way also BUT the team has Toews, Sharp, Bickell who was great, Shaw and of course Keith and Seabrook. Canucks impactful canadian born include Burrows, Dorsett, Kassian, matthias, Vey, Horvat, Bieksa, Hamhuis and Tanev. Hmmmm. I like all of our canadian born but none are top 6 caliber and non are a top 1 Dman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nationality means nothing. Look at the first liner centers of the last say 7 Cup champs. Kopitar x 2 Toews x 2 Krejci x 1 Malkin x 1 (he was their MVP that post-season and better center, not Crosby) Datsyuk x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would sure like to know who was in each of their top 6 though. I know mslkin had Crosby as other centre and Krejci and Bergeron.
