In all fairness to Anson Carter, he wasn't exactly a 3rd line grinder either. He had four 20 goal seasons before he was a Canuck. He had a couple of hard seasons where he bounced around the league in between his last 20 goal season and his resurgence in Vancouver, but the skill to be a top six player was there.Henrik Sedin WAS given 3rd line grinders to play with. The list is long: Trent Klatt, Jason King, Anson Carter.... before finally settling on Alex Burrows (who up until then was an undrafted journeyman who came up through the ECHL).
He turned all of them into 30 goal super studs. The problem was never the Sedins.
