I went with Pavel.

I have a hard time picturing one just one twin as the all-time face of the franchise.

 

[The Nuge]

Linden. Not close

 

[Sigh]

Messier

Guy on the right in the most iconic photo from team history (cue snarky pics/gifs from others, but whatever).

Linden is not my favorite Canuck and he's not the guy with the accolades of the Sedins, Bure, etc. But he is the most iconic IMO.

 

[lawrence]

our only Canuck drafted player that made the Hockey hall of fame.

Pavel Bure.

no one else comes close.

 

[dss97]

Luongo

It's Linden.

His reputation may have taken a hit in Vancouver in the last few years, but he's still the most popular player in team history. The Sedins are great, and I certainly was a big fan of the West Coast Express (particularly Nasund), but Linden was just king in this city.

It's only a matter of time until the Sedins are inducted as well...

Best and most iconic aren't the same thing. I'm actually surprised that anyone but Linden even has votes

I think Bure fits the definition pretty well, too.

Many think of him when they think of the Canucks or Canucks greats. He's one of the figures most commonly associated with the franchise.

Outside of Van/BC, I'd say Bure is probably more iconic than Linden.

That's fair. I just know that in BC, Bure's not even remotely close to Linden

 

[TNT87]

I went with Bure.

 

[firstemperor]

Probably Linden, but Bure was the best player they ever had.

They treated him very badly though and Bure himself, was a bit of a diva. Just a shame all around.

In B.C? All I know in Vancouver (they City) it's Bure. It could have to do with age group too maybe.

 

[GongShowWilly]

Linden for me , was a warrior

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

That's fair. I just know that in BC, Bure's not even remotely close to Linden

Bure is 10x more popular than Linden in Vancouver.

 

[M2Beezy]

Bure to Mogilny

 

[shelf]

H. Sedin led the league in assists for 3 consecutive years. He has also played nearly 3 as many games as Bure.

 

[tony d]

Linden. Bure's the best Canuck ever but for iconic? You got to go with Linden.

 

[Fugazy]

Linden.

 

[Cotton]

It's Linden, why Bure is winning this idk.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

For me its Bure
he was their best player ever IMO

 

[Section337]

As an outsider, looking in, I have Linden 1st and Smyl 2nd.
