The way they've been doing these lists I'm almost surprised they didn't leave off one of the Sedins in place of somebody like Greg Adams or even Gino Odjick.
Speaking of Gino, would have been cool if like the foundational player they had an enforcer spot for each team
It's hard to argue against Luongo and McLean though. They're first and second in every major franchise category. McLean is first in games played, Luongo is second. Luongo is first in wins, McLean is second.
If Brodeur was going to make the team, it would be as the Foundational player.
Fair point and McLean was top 3 in Vezina voting a couple of times. My recollection was that Brodeur carried the team more than McLean ever did, but that is subjective and not substantiated by data. Brodeur does have the cooler nickname, so there is that.
Mogilny not being there, Jovanovski not being there and Bieksa being there over someone like Willie Mitchell or Dan Hamhuis in a shut down role are all questionable.

Hughes is already the best dman the Canucks have ever had. On a side note, everyone that seems to have a vote and has said the way they are voting is for Hughes, so you may need to come to terms with back-to-back calder winners on a rival.
Jovanovski was a LD though wasn't he? I don't think he beats out anyone on that side. He's clearly better than Bieksa if he was a RD though.
