I recently saw the article on pavel bure, that suggested he would kill it in today’s nhl. Which made think it would be fun to make my own version of the best canucks team using past or present players. Would love to see everyone’s teams that they would put together. Here is the team I would ice. 
 

coach, Alain vigneault 

 

d.sedin, h.sedin, naslund,

bure, linden, bertuzzi,

morisson, kesler, burrows,

adams, horvat, ronning, 

 

salo, murzyn,

hamhuis, Malik,

erhoff, w Mitchell,

 

schneider

luongo

The only players that deserve some consideration on the current team, are QHs , EP and Miller.    Pretty straight forward there. 

 

OP... Malik?   No McArthy or Lanz or Reinhardt love (yet). 

 

Must haves:   Mogilny and Bure.   Pure skill wise, we've never had anything like them.    Don't forget the Sedins couldn't make it work until the rule changes came in...for those guys it didn't matter before and during the dead puck era.  

 

Should haves: Sedins, Naslund, Linden, Ohlund, Luongo and McLean

 

Probably should haves:   Ronning, Miller, EP, QHs, Reinhardt, Kesler, Bertuzzi, Smyl, Lumme, Jovo. 

 

Maybes:  Lidster, Lanz, McArthy, Mitchell, Salo, Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Courtnall,  Adams, Tanti, Gradin,  Burrows, Peca, Babych.   

 

Edit:  Add  Larionov to maybes  ... also is this just while they played here?  I'm assuming that's the case...

 

Honourable mentions - Neely - he was never played properly, Fraser, Walker,  Williams ... teams need toughness too.   Diduck, Momesso, a few others too that could play the game and pound away.   Kurtenbach as well.

Lineup:
Mogilny - Linden - Bure
Sedin - Sedin - Bertuzzi
Naslund - Pettersson - Smyl
Gradin - Kesler - Tanti

 

Hughes - Jovanoski
Ohlund - Lidster
Lumme - Edler

 

Luongo
McLean

 

Extras:

Burrows, Morrison, Mitchell, Courtnall

 

Behind the Bench:
Quinn, Boudreau, AV

Nice lineup...   I think Bertuzzi with the Sedins would be outstanding.

 

Only changes I'd have is to include Hamhuis in the mix and probably run with McLean in the playoffs.

Don't worry.   In 15 years someone will add Tyler Toffoli and think they are a genius too. 

 

Edit:  What about Beezer?  Or Sanderson.   Even Sean Burke as a possible 3rd stringer...

Beezer, Sundin, and Neely are the three hidden gems. Craig Janey can also be considered.
