Ronning, Courtnal, Craven. they all easily had 40 assists plus in each season with van.
Trust me to get to the finals it takes a good team, not on good player. When Naslund came here there was no bertuzzi or morrison and he still racked the points up. Don't forget when he was lined up with matt cooke he still racked the points. Face it he can play with anyone and still get the points. Bure was just a goal scorer. Naslund back checks, and leads the team in every offensive category. Think of it this way did Pavel Bure get 1st player all star for 3 straight years on right wing. Naslund got 1st all star team recognition for every year for the last 3

Having Morrison and Bertuzzi is like having Ronning and Courtnal. Thoguh Courtnal wasn't quiet as big bertuzzi.
When bure put up 110 points he had 2 players with more than 50 assists and like 3 with 40 assists. On the canucks now no one had over 40 assists this year other than naslund. trust me in today's nhl bure just doesn't cut it. Just look no furthur than when he went to the so called stacked New York Rangers

as for bure with the rangers, when he first got there he put up good numbers. 12 goals, 20 points in only 12 games. his second season he had 19 goals in 39 games playing on a bummed knee. ...and it's not like bure was putting up these numbers years ago in the mid 90's either. he had a 59 goal season as recently as 2001 playing in the so called defensive eastern divison.

grapes: all i want to add is this. pavel bure had no linemates. period. for him and naslund to be on 'equal' footing, you'd have to have bure playing on a line with cam neely. not to mention morrison now, who is better than any center we ever had during the pavel days.
edit: i hadn't read the 2nd page yet. just wanted to add, even in their primes, ronning/courtnall couldn't hold a damn candle to morrision and bertuzzi. i'm pretty sure that's a safe assumption. Last edited by Hot Karl; Sep 21, 04 at 09:35 AM.

Naslund is the complete deal. Play maker, Sniper, and team leader. Bure was only a goal scorer. Hence I would take a Naslund over a bure any game.

ok, i love naslund like everyone else in this city. but let's face facts, players like bure rose to the occasion, big game? big plays.
quite frankly naslund, bertuzzi et al have shown none of that. and they've had quite a few years together. this team and everyone on it, chokes. big time. that's the most consistent thing about their game.

plus all the canucks were scoring back than, and if a canuck goalie played as well as mclean did back than trust me the canucks would be in the finals again

he was still a major part of it. look naslund is a great player, in fact my favourite on the current canucks...but the fact is the man has never won anywhere. world juniors, olympics, world championships, nhl. even he admitted this in a vancouver sun article.

i gotta add, where are you gettin the 'complete package' deal from? naslund does not play defense. that's common knowledge man.
naslund is not an amazing playmaker, by any means. his 'weapon' is his wrist shot. that is all. naslund is also streaky as hell. hardly part of the complete package.
