Former Canucks Thread 2023-24 Off-Season Edition

[MS]

Dale Tallon & Jerry Korab should get an honorable mention had the team not eff'd up Tallons development & kept Korab. Korab was an underrated blue liner that was able to function pretty well in the midst of the Bad Bruins & Nasty Flyers in the early to mid 70s. Things that might've been........


Edit: stupid me ..they got Korab as part of the package when they dealt Tallon.

Bob Dailey and Korab were on the team at the same time and both inexplicably dealt away. The team should have had the two biggest defenders in the NHL in the back half of the 1970s and instead they were the 1Ds for Philly and Buffalo who were two of the best teams in the NHL. Whoops.

I'm not sure I'm ready to put him in that category yet.

Canucks have had a star on the backend; unfortunately it was at the tail end of his career (Paul Reinhardt).

Salo and Ohlund were first pair defencemen just like Hronek is.

Paul Reinhardt was not on a Sedin / Bure / Hughes level. Nobody is voting him into the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately his career was cut short because of injuries. He was a star player (imho).
