Theo easily. Not to dimish the immense skill and accomplishments that Nilsson brought. But, I don't see how you can discount the longevity and impact to the franchise that Theo had. Even after the exodus of star players in the early 1990's Fleury continued to carry the team and play at a very high level.
I understand people wanting to recognize guys like Nilsson and Loob -- but in the end, their contributions were much more short lived than the winners of the polls. There is a reason that #14 and #12 are the most worn jerseys by fans in the history of the franchise.
