Canucks don't have anyone that should be retired currently, hate my for saying it but sadly its true. If you were to look at the players we have in the rafters and the numbers they put up in their career you can see they are mostly being retired for their presence in the community which is good to recognize but isn't why someone should have their numbers retired in the nhl. If anything the numbers we have retired should be in the ring of honor or simply have a statue outside of gm place which is what other teams have done. I cant fully judge linden and naslund yet as their hall of fame votes haven't passed yet but if they succeed in getting in they deserve to be up there. But until then we may as well have bure or mclean up there as well. They truly have not achieved more on the ice than many other players who have not been retired.
