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?

[Coconuts]

So, like, you're not bringing back Bure, Naslund, Linden, a Sedin, Kesler, ect. No all-time greats because that's less interesting discussion. 

 

It's a silly thread, sure, but I'm curious as to who you think would move the needle for the current roster the most.

 

Personally, I'd bring back Salo.

burr, no-brainer for me. the pestilence, aggression, grit, two-way responsibility, work ethic, clutchness and heart are all examples this group needs. 

 

edit: chris tanev would be right up there, too.

Yes, Salo, not 24-year-old Kevin Bieksa

 

[King Heffy]

Willie Mitchell.  I'd prefer Ohlund but I'd consider him a tier too high.

Watch out for Tommi Santala.  I hear he's the best 4th line centre money can buy.  

[Chickenspear]

Malholtra... we need our one-eyed 3C PKing faceoff guru back.

[PeteyBOI]

Willie Mitchell

Burr would be a great add

 

I thought about Tanev over Salo but Salo always seemed to stabilize our entire defense when he was in the lineup, he brought a calming presence and that huge shot

We'd have won the cup with him instead of Ballard imo

I tried to make the title longer but it wouldn't let me

Seconded. 

[Mando27]

Who needs a time machine? I'm sure Bieksa could slot in right now and help our D.

[AlwaysACanuckFan]

Burrows, Malhotra, Samuelsson, Ronning, Morrison, Greg Adams for the forwards

 

For defense, Hamhuis, a healthy Salo, Hedican, Mitchell, Tanev to play with Hughes

I was wondering which of the two you'd pick ngl, I guess it's too close to call

Both would fill a need, the defense needs help so probably lean towards Juice.

[ManbeastMARK]

I am SHOCKED everybody isn't saying Pavel Bure. How electric would that be!?!? Petey and Bure??? Cmon

I'd also add in 2010/11 Malholtra. We could use that guy here as well.

If it came down to it I'd pick Juice too, we could use Burr's heart and talent up front but man, our D sure could use Juice right now

Yeah, a 3C of his caliber would be a game changer, no doubt

[ManbeastMARK]

I'd prefer prime Tanev to Bieksa. They played together and Tanev was a way better player.

It's likely people are reading the title and doing their best abide by the discussion at hand, or read the first line that says "So, like, you're not bringing back Bure, Naslund, Linden, a Sedin, Kesler, ect."
