Earlier this season, The Hockey News released a special edition of its magazine called "The Best of Everything in Hockey" - a follow-up to its 2003 edition. Unlike the past issue, which focused on all-time categories, this edition is focused on contemporary categories. The magazine consists of 57 such categories, ranging from obvious topics like Best All-Around Player to obscure ones such as Best Arena Food, voted upon by a panel of THN writers and contributors. It also features team sections that offer an all-time First and Second All-Star Team for each NHL franchise.
Obviously I would recommend that you pick up the magazine if you are interested in such list-making and ranking. However, after the jump I list the Canucks (or related people/things) that made the list in various categories, as well as the Canucks' all-time All-Start teams.
