All-Time Canucks Fantasy Draft: Day Three

[Bellaaaa]

We’re halfway through determining the greatest Canucks of all-time through a thoroughly scientific, exhaustingly considered process: a fantasy draft.,Authentic Joe Mixon Jersey,

Myself and a collection of fellow Canucks writers are selecting a team of three forwards,womens David Njoku Jersey,enforcer, two defencemen, a goaltender'Authentic Jordan Willis Jersey, and a wild card: a grinder,heart-and-soul type. We’ve each selected four players so far.

Rob “The Hockey Guy” Williams added Alain Vigneault and Jyrki Lumme to Pavel Bure and Trevor Linden; Ryan Biech continued to create his 2011-era power play unit with Ryan Kesler and Sami Salo added to Henrik Sedin and Christian Ehrhoff.womens Carl Lawson Jersey,

Jeremy Davis went a bit off-the-board with Brendan Morrison and Raffi Torres to go with his previous selections of Daniel Sedin and Cory Schneider; I grabbed Pat Quinn and Thomas Gradin to go with Markus Naslund and Kirk McLean.

Wyatt Arndt’s team now consists of Mike Keenan,womens Josh Malone Jersey, Mark Messier, Nathan Lafayette,womens Myles Garrett Jersey, and Dan Cloutier; someone needs to stage an intervention, I think. Meanwhile, Omarcanuck retained his sanity and selected Todd Bertuzzi and Ed Jovanovski to go with Alexander Mogilny and Roberto Luongo.

On to day three!womens Jake Elliott Jersey,

Rob: Last round I got the best offensive defenceman in history with Jyrki Lumme. This round, I’m taking the best defensive defenceman in team history: Dan Hamhuis. Hip checks for days.

Ryan: I’m ecstatic to grab Alexandre Burrows in the 5th round. Authentic Carl Lawson Jersey>Not an elite player, but he represents everything that made that 2011 team. After grinding his way to an NHL job, Burrows was a staple for the Canucks for almost a decade. His placement on the Sedin twins line was the first step in the Canucks taking those next steps.

My goal of getting as much of the 2010-11 team is shaping up nicely.Authentic Jabrill Peppers Jersey,

Daniel: *whistles nonchalantly, while taking notice that both Luongo and Schneider are off the board*womens Jordan Willis Jersey,

Jeremy: Time to grab my first defenceman and it's outrageous that Mattias Ohlund is still available. Ohlund has a highly legitimate argument for being the best Canucks defenceman ever,womens Joe Mixon Jersey, especially if we use the ambiguous label "all-around defenceman". Ohlund could play any style,, being both one of the toughest Canucks defencemen of his era,Authentic Josh Malone Jersey, and one of the most productive: he’s still first all-time among Canucks defencemen in goals and points.

Daniel: Damn it all. I was desperately hoping that Ohlund would survive to my pick. Instead,Authentic Jake Elliott Jersey, I’ll take the second-best Swedish defenceman in Canucks history: Alex Edler. Poor Edler has been a target of more than his fair share of criticism,Authentic Myles Garrett Jersey,' but he’s legitimately,, for better or worse, one of the best defencemen in franchise history. And he’s just 25 points back from Ohlund; he could pass him this season!

Jeremy: womens Jabrill Peppers JerseyBut he probably won’t.

Daniel: But he probably won’t.

Wyatt: For my fifth round pick,Authentic David Njoku Jersey, I’m taking Cody Hodgson. Two words: bar down.
