I take these polls as who was the best player with that # while a FLAME.
Example, if Fuhr had the same # as Kipper, Fuhr would have to win the poll (Hall of Famer, multiple cups, etc.). But that is obviously absurd, no?
So in the case of Housley, he only played 20% of his career as a Flame, and never in his prime.
Nattress played almost 50% of his career as a Flame and was a top defensive d-man for a Cup winning team.
Who had the better career? Housley, by far.
Who was the better player? Housley, by far.
Who was the better Flame? I am going with Nattress.
