Elias Pettersson Posted Friday at 06:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:54 PM Yes, the debates are back for a 2nd year!!! Who you picking as the one player you would have loved to see play in today's NHL? Remember you can only pick one. Since there are so many players I'd love to see I didn't bother to create a list, so you can pick anyone you want. Have fun and enjoy...

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted Friday at 06:59 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 06:59 PM I'll start if off. As this is a Canucks website, I will have to go with my favourite Vancouver Canucks player of all time and, in my opinion, the greatest Vancouver Canucks player of all time. I am sure you know who that is. No introduction necessary... 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted Friday at 06:59 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 06:59 PM Pavel Bure would destroy the league now. No hooking or holding to slow him up, would result in him putting up 70+ each year. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 6of1_halfdozenofother Posted Friday at 07:02 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 07:02 PM (edited) I would have chosen Jean Béliveau, but just for poops and giggles, I'd probably go with Rocket Richard. What could possibly be more amusing than watching him win his own trophy? Edited Friday at 07:03 PM by 6of1_halfdozenofother 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted Friday at 07:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:05 PM Bure without a doubt. Lemieux as well. Kariya would be unreal in todays game. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayster007 Posted Friday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:06 PM Just now, EddieVedder said: Bure without a doubt. Lemieux as well. Kariya would be unreal in todays game. Came here to say Kariya. Bure is the most obvious answer, but PK is the guy I thought of right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he was sitting on the bench and Bure flew by at top speed and Ray said aloud on the bench, “what the hell was that”? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid looks to pass, whereas Pavel (who got a lot of assists too) was first and foremost looking to score. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear he looked faster WITH the puck than without it. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted Friday at 07:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:12 PM Bure could be insane but he was even too hard and fast for his own body and damaged his legs from how hard he skated. I think Mario Lemiuex would be awesome, still shake my head at what he could do being hooked, held, draped over while also very limited in his mobility ( you'd never know it ) due to injury and chronic back etc issues. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
