Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

So I was reading Twitter the other day, an there is lots of 'greatest lineup of all time' kinda things, and which past player would you want in his prime in this lineup, etc..

So, I figured this would be a good way to kill some time... you can only replace 9 players, and you have to rebuild the team around the current 'build type'
2 scoring lines
1 energy line
1 checking line


Naslund - Petersson - Bertuzzi
Sedin - Sedin - Bure
Miller - Horvat - Virtanen
May - Rypien - Ferlund

Edler - Hughes
Ohlund - Tanev
Myers - Jovanovski

Markstrom
Demko

... so then I go at to thinking about speed. Then Bure..

Which led me to the current question:
Was Bure faster than McDavid?
Has anyone clocked that?

What? No Messier? Greatest leader of all time!

I kid. I kid.

.
Naslund--Petersson--Bure
Sedin--Sedin--Bertuzzi
Miller--Horvat--Virtanen
May--Andrew Cassels--Ferland (healthy of course)

Ohlund--Hughes
Edler--Jovanovski-
Myers--Tanev

Markstrom
Demko

Thanks for the entertainment MCP. It wasn't easy. Try it folfs. I wanted one more to get Luongo in there but with teams like these,
who needs goal tending...

What about:

Neely
MacLean
Adams
Mogilny
Linden (pre-Lemieux)
Haaaaarold
Lumme
Brown
Larionov

Fuck that was close - I had my finger on the ban button!

I always thought this team needs a RS D-man with a big shot more than anything, basically a Sami Salo type. I figured it wouldn't hurt to add some scoring punch, grit and some of the all-time best Canucks.

1) Nasi-Petey-Bert
2) Dank-Hank-Bure
3) Miller-Kes-Jake
4) Ferkland-BoHo-Linden

- Brockstar, Sutter

1) Ohlund-Myers
2) Hughes-Tanev
3) Edler-Salo

- Tryamkin

1) Cpt Kirk
2) Marky Mark

Finally, someone takes Kesler!

Compared to some guys getting on there like Rypien and Cassels?!

Kes had 5 straight healthy seasons of over 20 goals, three straight over 25 goals, and one crazy 41-goal season. Then had 3 20-goal seasons with the Ducks before falling apart.

Rypien would have slaughtered that dude who body slammed Petey, and would have redefined 'speed bag' with Marchand in 2011

He was good but only had one elite season IMO.

Cassels doesn't belong though lol.

Curt Fraser would have destroyed Rypien, and he could actually play the game.
