Which promising Vancouverite would you most want on the Canucks?

[cotillion]

No looch?

 

[Zombotron]

E. Kane followed by Gallagher followed by Johansen.

No looch?

Too established? I don't know.

...

What about the Islanders? Hmm? The Benns and Barries and Irwins?!

 

[Edo]

No looch?

Only a traitor would want Lucic on this team. Bridges have been burned and he ain't ever coming back.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Jaime Benn would be good as well.

Could play wing or centre.

included him since it's Vancouver Island

 

[huntison]

Sedin - Sedin - Kesler
Burrows - Turris - Kassian

 

[Barney Gumble]

Other....time machine + Joe Sakic.

 

[Bure All Day]

Nuge, and this has nothing to do with Kane's character, Nuge is just a better player

 

[AmazingNuck]

RNH is the obvious choice. He can create secondary offense on his own.

After that, the best choice would be Benn if you include Victoria. He's great defensively, he's big, he can score and he's already locked up to a good deal.

While adding Kane would be sweet, he doesn't have Benn's two way game.

 

[Addison Rae]

Only a traitor would want Lucic on this team. Bridges have been burned and he ain't ever coming back.

I'd take Lucic on this team easily.

 

[huntison]

Sedin - Sedin - Lucic
Burrows - Kesler - Kassian

This.

 

[Free Edler]

Nuge, and this has nothing to do with Kane's character, Nuge is just a better player

Mind showing your work on that one? I have yet to see any evidence that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is a better NHL player than Evander Kane.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Hopkins for second line please. It was hard to take him over Kane and johansen

What exactly did Lucic do to be excised from Vancouver?

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Kane is the best player on OP's list by a mile. He's the best player on the Jets and the only time they are remotely dangerous is when he's on the ice. I would take him and build a line around him. As a secondary scorer backing up the twins/kesler he would be a monster.

I don't think Kane's supposed attitude problems would be an issue given the leadership in the Canucks locker room. I also think a lot of that stuff is blown out of proportion by the fans in Winnipeg. I haven't heard his coach or teammates ripping him.

 

[WinterEmpire]

What exactly did Lucic do to be excised from Vancouver?

Be a member of the Bruins I guess

 

[deadinthewater]

Kane by a mile. RNH is made of glass.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

What exactly did Lucic do to be excised from Vancouver?

Played for the Bruins and beats the Nucks in the SCF.

Hated FOREVER.

4EVER.

 

[DennisReynolds]

What exactly did Lucic do to be excised from Vancouver?

Being too big and injuring Hammers

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Kane or Gallagher

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Nuge. Pretty easily. I do like Kane, but he's not in the same class skill-wise.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

It depends. It obviously comes down to RNH and Kane. RNH has potential to be an elite playmaker, but he's very small. Kane is probably one of the top 3 powerforwards in the league, but has personality issues.

Thing is for me is Kane is a more complete package than RNH, and you can win with **********.

 

[Edo]

What exactly did Lucic do to be excised from Vancouver?

Beat us. You don't just accept players from teams that you absolutely loathe with open arms.

I wouldn't take Lucic, Bergeron, Chara, Marchand, etc, in any situation. Just goes with the territory of being a die-hard fan.

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

No secret that I'm a big Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fan. RNH is still a few years and few pounds from being a truly great NHL player but I really think he'll get there.

 

[Bgav]

Lucic then Kane

 

[member 202355]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
