What a kick in the gut to Smyl if the team wins the Cup the same year he stepped away from his Hockey Operations position, so he doesn’t get his name on the Cup.

Some will argue with this statement but….
Greatest Canuck ever! … Now before you down vote I did not say greatest player, most talented or anything like that.
Stan Smyl literally gave his whole adult life to being a Canuck. Since we drafted him in 1978 he has done everything the organization has asked. He was the one constant between every ownership group and front office. He was there for all 3 cup runs. He mentored some very influential players over the years.
