I see what you are saying, but I think you are getting caught in the minutia a little bit. Of the names already added to the list, and the ones left for voting, Housley is the only legitimate consistent All Star / no brainer option for their best on best national team roster we have besides Big Al and Suter. To me he's easily the 3rd best D-man ever to suit up for the Flames, no questions asked.

Sorry, should clarify I mean career to date. Brodie and Gio even have plenty of time to surpass him IMO (Gio as you can see may have already done so in the minds of many posters) by their time as Flames are done.
