Blueliners and goalies

Pairing 1: Quinn Hughes – Mattias Ohlund

He’s only played 73 NHL games, but it’s hard to imagine a Canucks All-Time roster without him on it. To put it simply, the Canucks have never once in there 50 years had a defender with the pure talents of Quinn Hughes. He’s already the franchise’s best defender and he has years and years of hockey left to add to his resume. Partner him with the bone-crushing Swede and you’re all set.

Pairing 2: Alex Edler – Kevin Bieksa

Another perfect pairing by TSN. Nothing to change here. This duo was both popular and effective during their prime-time in Vancouver. Edler continues to build on his franchise leading statistics, while Bieksa remains one of the team’s most beloved players.

Pairing 3: Jyrki Lumme – Sami Salo

Points, points, and more points. When healthy these two ex-Canucks were two of the most effective power play quarterbacks. Put the puck on their stick and let them fire away.

Goaltenders: Roberto Luongo, Kirk McLean

Combine the franchise leader in regular-season wins with the franchise leader in playoff wins and you have yourself a deadly 1a, 1b combo. Not to mention, Roberto Luongo is third All-Time in wins across the entire NHL; he’s a bonafide future hall-of-fame goalie.

Final thoughts…

dark. Next. Canucks: Looking at who would make the All-Time Canadian team

The fact that the Canucks All-Time roster should already include players like Pettersson and Hughes can only be a good thing for Vancouver. The best is yet to come for this great hockey city.
