    Connor Garland (not sure if that counts?)

    So I just got up from under a rock and only saw this today.

    Shorty is great, but what the hell is with the Jim Robson erasure? The man is THE voice of the Canucks.

    Hell, I’d put Hughson over shorty but that’s splitting hairs.

    Silovs last playoffs. Glad we had a competent 3rd.

    Chris Higgins.

    Came to Vancouver as a depth piece to help bolster the 4th line for our cup run. Ended up playing up the line-up and settled into a 2nd line spot next to Kesler and proceeded to stay there for the next several seasons.

    Was the quintessential middle six player for us. Could play anywhere in the line-up whether it’s on the top PK, or 2nd unit powerplay. He could play shutdown minutes, could score goals, and was one of our best shootout guys.

    Chris Higgins was the literal definition of a workhorse player for this team.

  6. Hansen for his longevity on that bottom 6
    Torres for the short term impact he had on the cup run

    The honey badger doesn’t give a shit. He just here to skate hard, throw hits and score the odd timely goal. Jannik Hansen played 565 games as a Canucks which is 21st most of all time. The great Dane has my vote.

    Jannik Hansen is the right answer but I think Raffi Torres needs some love here. I’m not sure the Canucks have ever had a 4th liner that put terror in the hearts of every player he stepped on the ice with before and definitely haven’t had since.

    im more interested in what people come up with than what actually wins, that linden cooke and arvedson from 03 to 04 was the best shut down 3rd line in hockey whenever magnus wasnt hurt. Malhotra and Hansen were amazing depth pieces, then you got other guys like scott walker, gregg adams and so many others. this has to be one of my favorite categories
