Elias Pettersson Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 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 August 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 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... 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 Pavel Bure would destroy the league now. No hooking or holding to slow him up, would result in him putting up 70+ each year. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Bure without a doubt. Lemieux as well. Kariya would be unreal in todays game. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure is the most obvious answer, but PK is the guy I thought of right away. 1 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”? 4 1 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MJDDawg Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 Pavel was built for today's NHL. I still hate how the old rules shortened his career. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear he looked faster WITH the puck than without it. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the rules today Mario would be a 200+ point player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
