I'd like to vote for Nattress, but he was a liability on the ice far too often. His best defensive move was the sliding poke check from behind, but that was something he had to resort to because he was beaten so often by the opposing player. I'm glad he won the Cup, but man did he ever scare me when he took the ice.
Housely is by far the best player on the list, but I never warmed to him as a Flame.
Went with Houston. Tough dude with some skill... played great in the '81 playoffs... and had a great nickname.
