If you were to go back in time and bring back prime aged second-tier Canuck to the present so they could play on the current version of the Vancouver Canucks who would it be?

Toughest defenseman we've ever had and could play the game too.  Perfect partner for Hughes.

He always made someone feel accountable

Brendan Morrison for me. Burrows close 2nd.

 

Morrison would an excellent piece in our current top 6.

Underrated center for us.  Did the dirty (defensive) work for his legit allstar winger linemates.

[Petey the Puck Whisperer]

Salo is the only answer.

Morrison > Kesler imo and I loved Kesler.

A big, snarly S.O.B. that was tough as nails and could chip in offensively too

Wait until someone comes up with a "foundational" player like Brandon Sutter.

The "Hockey Gods" were trolling us when I think Salo was the only 100% fully healthy D for us in the 2011 Finals (heh, Ballard don't count cause he was the crap).

Because he literally only had 2 great year and then mostly a 40-60 point guy. Top 10 in Canucks scoring is not that hard.. ep can literally be top 10 this year and he played 2 COVID shorten season and an injury shortened season so far in his 5 years.

To each their own. In no world do I see Todd as a 2nd tier player personally.

Luc Bourdon so that he's back to life. And gets to live out that potential.

That's why the Raymond Ballard and 1st deal fell through 

[Singing Chef]

Doug Lidster would be a great right shot D for Quinn Hughes.  Orland Kurtenbach is what this team needs on top 6 to keep everyone accountable - one of the toughest players ever to lace them up but also had good skill.

[Ghostsof1915]

Odjick? Brashear?

[DeltaSwede]

Dan Hamhuis comes to mind outside of Salo, Tanev or a Bieksa. 

The team could really use a feisty dane, maybe a little bit of Jannik Hansen?

But which centre do you kick out? We already have Petey and Miller.

Would be wild in today's game, but a prime Kurtenbach would be amazing. Was about a point per game in his first season in Vancouver before going down with injury. That plus being an absolute beast would be great. Only thing is he was a centre and I don't think he replaces Miller or Petey.

Also Marin gelinas

He’s a top tier player in his prime but his prime was way too short for me to put him with naslund he have 2 80+ and 1 70 point season? Something like that and then it’s all 40-60

Would be amazing as a 3rd liner, but I think we'd be better off working on more significant weaknesses like wingers or RD.

97 points in 2002-03 with 46 goals. In 2001-02, he actually produced at a higher clip than Naslund with 85 points in just 72 games and was on pace for 97 points--Naslund had 90 points in 81 games that year. Big Bert was 1000% a top tier player.
