Which promising Vancouverite would you most want on the Canucks?

[ayoshi]

The lower mainland has always produced its share of great hockey players, but it just seems to me that right now there are some beauts coming up.

Simple question: which promising lower mainland kid would you most like to see on the hometown team? Let's say '09 draft or later.

*Gallagher played minor hockey here so he counts

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Matt Barzal

 

[BoHorvatFan]

Nuge on the second line and on the PP... yes pleaze.

 

[Derp Kassian]

Kane.. Ainec

 

[huntison]

Sedin - Sedin - Kane
Burrows - Kesler - Kassian

Or

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Higgins - RNH - Kesler

 

[Solidius]

Give Buble a second stint

 

[Wilch]

Ryan Nugent Hopkins. Brings high end offensive talent we sorely lack, would immediately give us a potent second line and pp unit and allow us to spread our attack.

Comes without the potential character issues Kane allegedly has.

 

[turkulad]

Ryan Johansen would be a grand fit for the 2C and might be actually available.. if only we'd have the pieces to give back to CBJ, which we don't unless Booth comes back and scores 20+ before the TDL.

 

[ayoshi]

Love Ryan Johansen's upside. Size, skill, plays centre...got my vote.

 

[thekernel]

what, no wiercioch in the poll?

still taking the nuge

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Gallagher is my favorite Hab and the kid's a better Marchand. Would absolutely love him on the Nucks.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

Obviously none of you have ever met Kane........ ugh should be last based on character. The nuge by a landslide.

 

[PhilMick]

Wow that was surprisingly hard. Lots of good products coming out of the lower mainland lately I went with the Nuge because Evander Kane is a *********.

And besides, I'm not even sure his money phone would get a signal in Vancouver. Do they have money phone network coverage?

 

[PhilMick]

Obviously none of you have ever met Kane........ ugh should be last based on character. The nuge by a landslide.

I actually looked at that list and was like "wow, I'd like everyone of those players but Kane".

 

[Addison Rae]

E.Kane quite easily.

Sedin - Sedin - Kassian/Burrows
E.Kane - Kesler - Burrows/Kassian

 

[Vankiller Whale]

In general I've always preferred targeting a winger to add over a centre, but even I can't pass on RNH to take Kane.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

I actually looked at that list and was like "wow, I'd like everyone of those players but Kane".

I know right. Even people in Winnipeg don't like him. Ya he's got immense talent but I'm not sure if he'd be worth the headache. There's way better options there.

 

[Saturated Fats]

Evander Kane, for me. I also think we would benefit from a blood-and-guts player like Gallagher.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

If already drafted: RNH. Always build down the middle.

If upcoming draft eligible: Barzal.

 

[Goon42]

Sedin Sedin Burrows
Kane Kesler Kassian (KKK line hehe no racist)

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Is Barzal better than Sam Reinhart?

 

[Free Edler]

I'd go with Evander Kane. Not like we run in the same circles so I couldn't care less if the guy is a jerk. We had Todd Bertuzzi here for nearly a decade, how bad could Kane be?

 

[Craz1bo1]

Is Barzal better than Sam Reinhart?

He's already scoring at over a PPG pace in his first year in the WHL.

Same draft year as McDavid.


I chose Gallagher. We need more players that play like him on this team.

 

[Hansen]

Barzal for future.


Johansen or the Nuge right now. Would give us a truly top 2nd line with Santorelli - Johansen/Nuge - Burrows/Kesler (I was really liking Santo and Burrs chemistry, they play off of each other really well, same high pace high intensity game).

 

[thepuckmonster]

Reinhart followed by Gallagher and then teh Nuuuuuuge.
