Who will be next in line for the Ring of Honour?

[Crimson JH]

I’m get a feeling it would be Ryan Kesler for the next RoH. 
 

Does anyone know how many slots left now in Rogers Place?

Gino!!

[KoreanHockeyFan]

Edler as soon as he retires. Hands down. 

[Jess]

Kesler is on the edge IMO, but I could see it. Edler is a shoo-in though. He'll very likely be next.

 

For other guys with fewer games currently on the team, it will likely just depend on how long they last. If any of them play 900+ games, they have a solid shot at jersey retirement, though the thought of retiring Miller, Hughes, Petey, and Boeser does feel like a lot of numbers, haha. I'm sure not all of those guys will play 900+ games with the team and at least one of them will either retire early from injuries, get traded, or sign elsewhere at some point.

 

Odds are that one or two of Miller, Hughes, Petey, Boeser, and Demko get their numbers retired and maybe another one or two gets to the ROH. Miller and Hughes are currently the most likely, just due to the lengths of their contracts. If Petey signs a long deal or Boeser signs an early extension this summer, I could see those guys becomeing more likely as candidates too.

[King Heffy]

Edler for sure.  Would have loved to see Gino in there but I don't see it happening now after they recognized him before he passed.

[VegasCanuck]

Why isn't @Alfliveson that list????

 

 

 

[Tank]

Bieksa

[DSVII]

Edler or Bieksa,

 

My question is what happens once the ring is filled, do we extend the stadium?

Maybe by then, there'll be a new barn, and the whole lot of them need to be moved...

My guess is they at some point just re-do all the areas and make them smaller to fit more.

Here's the thing with kesler (who is my all time favorite player). 

 

If he makes the ROH I think Horvat has to make the ROH too based on length of tenure with the Canucks and stats. So if you can live with Bo being in the ROH yes I think kes is in.

I disagree based on effort output, kes gave 110% till injuries piled up, Horvat seemed to save it for the playoffs.

[Devron]

I don’t think any past Canucks deserve to be. Edler if I had to pick but I don’t think it should be anyone until either Hughes or Petey but they might have a retired number at the end of it 

[Nucker67]

I voted Kesler, but I change my mind.

 

I think Edler deservers to get in. He currently holds a lot of the D records, I believe. Drafted and developed by VAN, Edler played 15 years for the Canucks. 

 

As for retiring Lu's number, I think the next number that goes up should be a player who wins VAN a Cup. One day they will have a goalie up there - #35

[Kevin Biestra]

No question it will be Edler the moment he's eligible.  But there is a backlog of older guys that should receive and should have already received that honour.

Once the ring is filled we call the job complete and put a picture of Messier's face with a #11 in every urinal.

It's not about stats though.  Kesler still goes above Bo based on how much he was willing to sacrifice in the playoffs for us.  The guy was an absolute warrior.

Just the face is fine.  No need to piss on the #11.  

[grumpyone]

I'd be okay with Gino.

I still don't think that Kes, Edler, Bieksa have done enough to warrant it.

Petey, JT, Hughes, and you forgot Demko... their career isn't long enough yet. Mind you if they bring home the cup then all bets are off.

Even with his personality issues and the way he left town I would have Kesler way way above Horvat for the ROH.  Horvat really doesn't separate himself statistically a great deal from other Canucks who don't get talked about for the ROH like Tony Tanti, Doug Lidster, Don Lever and several others.  And then guys like Lever had the ironman record, guys like Ronning were playoff heroes year after year, and so on.  Bo...he was a good consistent player...in a pretty unpleasant era of Canucks hockey and save for the bubble playoffs really leaves little behind in terms of great Canucks memories.

Gino Odjick should have been in the ROH years ago.  Gino, Tiger Williams, Richard Brodeur and Andre Boudrias.

[DeltaSwede]

Let's keep the bar to entry high. 

 

Just picking off any good player who's spent 7-8 years with the franchise isn't high enough in my mind.

I find it hard to argue Edler wasn't at least as important to this franchise as Ohlund was and Ohlund's in the ROH. Edler's beaten pretty much all of Ohlund's records.
