Line 1: Daniel Sedin – Henrik Sedin – Pavel Bure

TSN nailed it here. You can’t go wrong with the three best Canucks players of All-Time joining forces on line one. It would be an absolute dream come true to see what this trio could have been capable of. The Sedin twins will go down as the league’s deadliest playmaking duo, while the Russian Rocket is one of the greatest hockey players in history in terms of speed and pure goal-scoring ability. Put those three together and watch the magic happen.

Line 2: Markus Naslund – Elias Pettersson – Todd Bertuzzi

Trevor Linden was a great replacement for TSN’s new-look West Coast Express, but if it weren’t for their set of rules, Elias Pettersson would actually be the perfect fit. At only 21-years-old, Petey has already proven he has what it takes to be a franchise player. His awareness, stick-handling and playmaking ability jammed between two Canucks greats would be like Brendan Morrison on steroids. Pure domination.

Line 3: Stan Smyl – Trevor Linden – Alex Mogilny

Above all else, the snubbing of Alex Mogilny from the Canucks All-Time roster could have been TSN’s biggest mistake. He was a force in Van-city with a goal-scoring talent that was often overlooked and under-appreciated behind Pavel Bure. Not a doubt in my mind he should have been on this team. Not only was he a great Canuck, but he is also one of the greatest Russian hockey players ever.

Line 4: J.T. Miller – Ryan Kesler – Alexandre Burrows

Ever wondered what the Canucks’ All-Time two-way forward line would be? Well, you’re looking at it. Three of the greatest 200-foot players the Canucks have ever seen. Combine a Selke winner with his career-best penalty-killing partner, add in the 2019-20 leading scorer and you’ve got yourself a shutdown line capable of overcoming any combination of attackers.
