Flames Jersey Poll 2016 - All Time #3

I saw this a few years back and thought it'd be a neat idea to do, say in 2016, when our young stars were beginning to mature.

The way I see it, the Flames have had five generations of players:

The 80s - Greats
The 90s/Early 2000s - Middle of the pack
2004-2009 - Stars
2010-2013 - Awful
2014-present - Rising stars

It's fun to compare players from different generations, and to see which generations' players stand out. So, keeping in the tradition of the circa 2014 threads, I thought I'd create a new set of polls to recognize the best players to have donned each number for the Flames.

Rules:

- I won't put in players for numbers they aren't well-known for (IE: Iginla (24), Lombardi (49))
- Vote honestly
- Have fun!

To steal a guideline from the old thread:
I pick off a key group of players for each jersey. I don't use every name, as that gets tedious and unnecessary (probably go with 5-7 unless there are many that wore the same number).

We're now on #3.

Voted Phaneuf, because his first few years here were amazing. Then he became that other guy.

But where is Ian White or David Schlemko?

These polls are usually better when done in the off-season.

Besides, what jersey numbers will have changed since we did this just recently? Gaudreau's #13 and that's it likely.

It really hasn't been long enough since the last time we did this poll. Which numbers have changed? 13? Maybe 23?

Here's the results from last time.

Gaudreau will be the only change from last time ... Gelinas would still win at #23, me thinks

Can you add the winners to each new post. I am curious to see the winners but don't want to go to every poll.

I guess to be fair there are new members joining all the time so maybe the numbers change based on the age of the new members???

What about Bennett at #93? Is Dougie too new to get a shot at #27?

Frank Musil.

Geez, Phaneuf has a decent couple of years and everyone forgets the quality years that Musil put up next to MacInnis.

Edit: I'm just biased against Phaneuf because I very much dislike him as a person. Can't bring myself to vote for him.
