Done!If a mod could edit the poll, I'd like it to be open for 3 days, not 1
Going with Edler, pull out the flamethrowers.
Dan Hamhuis is the best defensemen on the best defence we've ever had.

Salo is the all-time leader among Canuck D with 78 playoff games.
Edit: also 2nd among active Dmen in plus minus (Chara is first).
Is the reason Jeff Brown isn't on this list due his short tenure?
... and because of his silly off ice creative nature.
As for Dan H. My problem is that we need to look at what he has done with the Canucks and not what he did with another team. While he is the best D man overall to be in a Canuck uniform, he has not done the most while in a Canuck uniform. A guy wore 99 for the blues for a year, does that make him the greatest Blues player of all tiem? No. Dan H needs to do more in a canuck uniform to be called one of the top ten defensemen of all time
One guy carried the team to a playoff spot (awful squad - no talent) while the other carried the team to the NHL basement (awful squad with some talent but highly disfunctional).If we're just talking the best defenseman to put on a Canuck jersey then it should have been Paul Reinhart...Just like (as nauseating as it is to say) the best player to put on a Canuck jersey was Mark Messier.
Gretzky didn't do anything special with the Blues. Hamhuis is a big reason we've become an elite team and have had the most success in franchise history.
Lets be honest, the competition isn't stiff. Sami Salo? Really?

I might give that to Mathieu Schneider.
Might as well add Corrado. If people like Sami Salo are being voted in this early I think this poll has lost all integrity. Too many people voting who just have no clue of the Canucks alumni.
