I've watched my team go to the Stanley Cup finals just as many times as you have in the last 8 years.

1 Elite as (frank) player, 1 really good dude, 1 kid with a bad shoulder, a 19 yr old that wasn't even a 60 goal scorer and some kid from college.

Wouldn't have Edler nor Bieksa in my top 5 Canucks. I'd put Burrows or Hansen

That's saying something about your defense, Hansen a 3rd liner over your top 2 dmen.

Exactly how have the Canucks been more successful than the Oilers. The only thing that really matters in the grand scheme of things is Stanley Cups and last I counted we're up 5-0 despite you having 10 years on us.

Now that I find very funny.

Well that's too bad because you're going to have to deal with both very soon. Gillis is doing everything in his power to self destruct that team. How many more seasons with him at the helm until the Canucks are worse off than the Oilers?

Again what has produced more quality players, the Czech league or the CHL
- tomburton99


That isn't a fair comparison. Canada as more arena's than the Czech Republic has hockey players.

Didn't the Canucks draft #2 and #3 about 14 years ago? And the year before they picked 4th.

Teams rebuild. They have a solid core that gets old and moves on leaving an empty shell. Then the team sucks and has to build through the draft. In about 3 years Vancouver will be doing the same thing when the Sedins have fallen apart. Luongo finally killed Gillies, Kesler has retired to join the American Olympic Diving team and they are left with Kassian and Schroder.

Plenty to prove? Anahiem's top five has 2 goalies. Washington has green who played his last full season during the great depression. Then you picked another one of their non existent Dmen and Johanssen? I just can't agree. Montreal has a better 5. They arguably have a better 5 than Ottawa. If we are letting Drouin into this then Colorado might have a better five with Duchene, Lands, ROR, Parenteau and Mackinnon. However Edmontons top 5 of Eberle, Hall, RNH, Yak and Schultz has to be considered. I will give you other teams having 2 players are good but the last 3 drop off significantly. Detroit, Vancouver, Washington, Philly, Ottawa, Min, LA... All have 2 or three good players. Zibjobob for the sens is doing nothing, Kesler had a terrible season, Druin - Hedman and carle would never be traded straight across for any of the 3 of the oilers I mentioned. I would be surprised if they going get two, Bouwmestier and steen? really? Kronwall and Howard? Cunitz? You could but eager on a line with Crosby and Malking and he would get 60 points too.

For the Penguins he's top, top 5 defensmen in the nhl, no way. Besides did you see his play against the Islanders and Bruins. Didn't do very well.

List of defensmen I'm taking before him include...
Pietrangelo
Weber
Kieth
Seebrook
Suter
Chara
Karlsson
Yandle
OEL
Edler
Carlson

- tomburton99

You forgot Doughty.

And Letang is better than a few of those guys.

Top 5: Jonathan Quick, Drew Doughty, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar
You can understand why this team won a cup. Quick is perhaps the best goalie in the world right now. Doughty can play like the best defenseman, and Kopitar when he is healthy is impossible to contain. Richards and Carter might be ass-hats off the ice, and they don't always show up. Just in the playoffs, when winning actually matters. Great group of five.

Top 5 Players - Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, Bobby Ryan, Craig Anderson and Mika Zibanejad
Ah, the first to include a player not for what they've done, but because of what's to come. Zibanejad is going to be an absolute force this season. Big, gifted, gritty...Love this kid. If I was coaching Team USA at the Olympics, I'd put Anderson in net. Karlsson is the best defenseman in hockey. Adding Ryan is going to make up for the loss of Alfredsson and then some.

the contradictions never end

We are talking about Clouts here. Not someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Cut him some slack, preferably around the waist.

LA only has 2 or 3 good players? haha.

Look, Edmonton has young talent, but they haven't proven anything.

So yes, they have plenty to prove.

You don't pick a top 5 on potential, you pick it on results. The results aren't there yet. Quick crying ya Nancy.

The only D I wouldn't take instead of Letang is Yandle, and only by a hair.
