No way on Bure - purely is not team player. How many games did you see him taking his skates off before the final horn sounds? That was just pitiful and made it where I wanted him gone.
I like the Randy Moller idea, same in a way, Billy Lindsay would fit the bill.
But, my vote would be for Paul Laus. All heart. Also, totally cool when run into him at the store or something too. Also, you never really hated him. Stinks he didn't have a proper exit.
Beezer was great. But at the end of his time here, we were calling goals "beezer goals". The glove would lift up after the puck was in the net.
We also have Gord Murphy with his great hip check and return as coach. Same with Skrudland return as a coach.
Jovo could do as first draft, and Weiss could have been it, but that didn't pan out.
If we joke about Wells, what about Stu Barnes?
There really are quite a few that could fit the bill, but none that tower over the others. Other teams have players that go with the team easy, Gordie Howe, for example. I don't think we have one, yet.
Either way, I would not complain if Beezer, Melanby, Laus, etc. are named. Just not Bure. In a way, I am not sure if there is anyone really super worthy, yet.
