Don Taylor

Didn't play in that 94 team, but he played in the two seasons before that, and it really, really worked.

And I think everybody wants this.

I don't think there's any way that, you know, Brandon Gallagher is going to hurt the Vancouver Canucks.

And, you know, for further precedent, how about last year with Evander Kane?

The Canucks tried that, tried bringing the hometown kid home, the former Vancouver Giant home.

It didn't work, but I get what they were thinking, what they were hoping for.

I think this is similar.

He plays a different game, of course, than Evander Kane.

Brendan Gallagher has always been about courage, hustle, and leadership beyond his skill set.

And I think that's something the Canucks could use an injection of.

So I'd be all for it, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

Well, let's go back to his draft.

Fifth round in 2010.

Two spots before Brandon Gallagher.

This is nothing against anybody, but they took Adam Polisak.

This is the Mike Gillis era.

Nothing against Mike, but it's just a fact.

They took Adam Pulisic.

You know, Brendan Gallagher is pushing 1,000 games, between 900 and 1,000 games.

Adam never played an NHL game.
