Opinions needed on my greatest Canucks rookies collection

Looked up games played and I was quite surprised with how many games Strudwick has (243). He has to be added. Chubarov, Lachance and Lowry also have a decent amount of games too.

Also getting into the lower tier category. Weise, Lapierre, O'Brien, Alberts, Bernier, Letowski, Druken, Stanton.

Anyone know anything about Pit Martin? Or Jerry Butler, Colin Campbell, Tracey Pratt, and Popiel? They are a little before my time.

Pratt, Butler, Martin and Campbell are must haves

Herter JJ Daigneualt Woodley Stojanov and Murphy for bad drafting

Actually...if you are going to start this you really need to get the rookie card for anyone that ever wore the sweater (herter be damned). Can you imagine what a rich fanboy would pay for that collection?

how do you need messier if messier wasn't a canucks rookie? am i missing something?

 

[Fat Tony]

Most the players listed weren't Canucks in their rookie years.

 

[Verviticus]

yeah, thats what im lost on. what does rookie refer to if they arent canucks?

 

[Fat Tony]

He wants the rookie cards of players that have been on the team. The time doesn't have to be their rookie year.

Good call.. and thats the one who is the biggest question mark for me. Hodgson played well in his rookie season but his best rookie The Cup is $250-400. Is the one year really necessary to add ro the list?! That has yet to be determined by me. What do you think?

Definitely not for $250+... just wait that one out... Could be had for very cheap in a couple more seasons.

in a couple years, you could probably buy the real cody hodgson himself for that much.

Added Valk, Chubarov, Strudwick, Lachance, Pratt, Butler, Snow, Lowry, and McCabe to the collection in that short time.

I dont see holden, bohonos or druken! Or komarnizki (sp?)


Or zezel weinrich and muckult..... off my 90s brain.

I think you have a pretty complete list, but why not try to stick with rookies who STARTED with the Canucks, instead of pretenders like Messier or Chouinard who clearly don't belong.

I might be headed in that direction once I get every notable Canuck. I am sure the hell not getting Chouinard lol, he didn't do anything for us.
As for Messier, the beginning of his first name summed up his career in Vancouver. Takes a honored number, steals the C from Linden. It was a mess from the start. That alone gives him story status in Vancouver. I don't paticulary want it but I think its a must.
