Player Discussion Who has been the most important "non-star" player on the canucks roster the last few years ?

[platotld]

IMHO it's been Mr Luke Schenn.

He mentored Huggy Bear. He's been a plus D-Man the last two years. He's tuff on the oppisition, we'll seen him hold himself and teammates accountantable.

2022-23	Vancouver Canucks	NHL	9	0	4	4	13	2

We need more Luke Schenn's. He's a vet, a rooom guy without a "letter". The Canucks Army 7 months ago did a good article on his worth, and all of this for

Miller.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Horvat.

Brings alot for not being that good.

 

[F A N]

What time frame are you talking about and who do you consider a star player?

I would say Tyler Motte.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

a different take - most important in the manner of being the biggest contractual liability… loui

 

[biturbo19]

Christian Wolanin. Obviously.

 

[Ruthervin]

Tyler Motte

 

[VanJack]

Got to be Schenn by a mile.....where are you going to get a d-man like him at his current salary of $750,000 a year? There's guys in Abbotsford earning that much.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Tyler Toffoli if we go with the ones who got away

 

[Nucker101]

Chris Tanev

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Its still Miller by a mile.

The way he reinvented his game for this year has really changed the entire outlook of our team.

 

[mathonwy]

Tanner Pearson AINEC

 

[ChilliBilly]

Going to go with Burroughs. Constantly outplayed expectations.

edit - he and Schenn are the 2 best value for money guys (not on an ELC obviously).

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Schenn, Pearson and Motte are all good choices, IMO.

 

[Peen]

dorsett, stecher, schenn, motte

 

[LordBacon]

Eriksson because of the memes.

Jokes aside, it’s tanev and tofolli for me.
Their contracts are as cap friendly as it can be which is what you want,
and their departure also signalled the start of the downfall of this team. (Cough, terrible cap structure and planning, cough)

 

[Green Blank Stare]

Schenn, Motte and Stecher.

I don't count Toffoli because he was here for a cup of coffee.
