Speculation: 50th Anniversary - Canuck Alumni Game?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Jeff Patterson tweeted that one of the ideas being floated around for the 50th anniversary season (2019-2020) is a Canucks Alumni game featuring retired players from all eras of the team.

So for fun - how would you compose two rosters and coaching staffs for an Alumni game? Trying to bear in mind who would or wouldn't be physically capable of playing.

My stab at it...

Team Blue (Rink 'n Stick)
Coaching Staff:
Alain Vigneault
Gino Odjick, Richard Brodeur

D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows
Bure-Larionov-Adams
Fraser-Gradin-Smyl
Gelinas-Lever-Rota

Ohlund-Salo
Snepsts-Brown
McCarthy-Aucoin

Hirsch
Potvin

Team White (Skate)
Coaching Staff:
Marc Crawford
Jack McIlhargey, Orland Kurtenbach

Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi
Mogilny-Ronning-Linden
G. Courtnall-Sundin-R. Courtnall
Tanti-Cassels-Skriko

Jovanovski-Lumme
Babych-Reinhart

Bill LaForge isn't with us anymore.

Nor is Gary Lupul.

An all time "tough guy" team would be fun. We've certainly had our share - Kurtenbach, McIlhargey, Delorme, Fraser, Williams, Butcher, Coxe, Odjick, Diduck, Brashear, Walker, May, Kocur, Crowder...

All fan favorites. EDIT (Well, maybe not Bawa and Malkoc ). This town loves the lunchbucket, scrappy type player.
