Interesting take. I'd say that's "your" Mt. Rushmore, not mine...
My view of "Mt. Rushmore' is not necessarily just four best players, or even most valuable, but there is some subjectivity also around who was face of the franchise, beloved by fans etc.
That's why Fleury is on my list, vs. Nilsson who I agree was a better player. If Nilsson made a comeback with Flames, would Saddledome go crazy if he scores a shootout goal in preseason?
That's also why I struggled somewhat with Chopper vs. Vernon or Kipper but still went with him.
My personal favorites are probably very different - Lanny, Iginla, Loob and Kipper or Mullen. Does feel like a goalie should be up there.
