My vote goes for Huggy bear, he really has the potential for GOAT Canuck
Best FA signing, best Canucks coach, best gm

Instead of best forward, you could put Powerplay anchor
Instead of best handles, you could put the best penalty killer

I’m going to go with Hughes for most as I think he has another gear. I think Bourdon is a close second, but he was never going to be at the level Hughes is. I do think Bourdon for wasted potential, as he was taken from us far too soon

Has to go to Luc

Petey. Has top 5 forward in the NHL potential. Still hasn’t shown it consistently

Best fight and best trade as a category.

Pavel Bure
His 0.62 goals per gp is up there with the best of all time (only bossy, Lemieux, cy denneny, babe dye and Austin matthews have better).

Currently id say petey or hughes but all time I’d say Luc Bourdon (RIP)
LunchWithEggs
This has to be a toss up between Neely and Bure. Both could’ve been top 5 scorers of all time. Hughes will probably be in this discussion eventually.
Side note, how is Booth the most overrated? Recency bias would go to the lovable Kuzmenko. Historical, likely someone from the 94 run. Even B-Mo, as painful as it is to suggest. Excellent skater who played between two of the best players in the game in their day. Rick Vaive was a Canucks draft pick.. Don’t know if anyone rates Jimmy Corson very highly anymore.

Quinn Hughes. He’s gonna go down as probably the greatest defenceman of all time not named Orr.

Honestly huggy imo will always have more potential than Bourdon. He would have probs been a solid 2nd pairing guy maybe Willie Mitchell but Hughes on his pace will take over highest scoring Canucks if he finishes his career here. Nobody beating that kind of potential. The man had over 90 fucking points last year!!!

Hoglander. For me Petey and Hughes have already shown too much to be considered players with potential. Hoglander is still relatively new and has a lot more in the tank imo.

Quinn Hughes for sure he still has tons of room to grow

Cam Neely never got to his potential here in Van

Hard to do this all time, but my current is Hoggy

Most wasted potential – Josh Holden?
EDIT: types too fast and got the wrong Holden

I’m “running” the Panthers player grid and I was also planning on replacing best forward and handles. Some suggestions would be worst defenseman, best/worst coach, funniest moment. Open to hearing some of yours as well 🙂

Michael Grabner. So damn fast, if the hands could only catch up.

Gonna throw Cody Hodgson out there. High draft pick, a couple big seasons in the OHL, topped off by leading the World Juniors in points (over Tavares). Unfortunate how it turned out, but he was on track early to be a game breaker for the Canucks

This grid has made me lose confidence in this subreddits understanding of ordinary words and/or knowledge on Canucks history. There is absolutely no way that Booth is the most overrated Canuck (no one praised him) and Messier is the worst top 9 forward we’ve ever had (in terms of play, yes to most hated and worst attitude though).

One of the replacement categories can be “should’ve stayed” or like “wish we’d kept”?

Boeser. He has another gear coming
Ron2Laxing
I am not including guys who have their potential realized (like Quinn Hughes) I would have to say Luc Bourdon.

Bourdon. Perhaps the greatest “what if” the Canucks ever had.
charcharcharmander
I think we gotta go with a current player rather than an old one. An old one would probably fit in “wasted potential”
