Derek Morris? meh

Wouldn't have Phaneuf top 20 either.
Agreed with Wilson but I can see why somebody may rank him higher than most. In his first full NHL season he was 2 points shy of having a point per game. Then his next year he was 1 goal shy of 30. He had a great start to his career and he did it in Calgary.

Side note on Carey Wilson. I remember the confusion that was created when he was traded because Lane MacDonald was also traded away and plenty of people were in a panic that the Flames traded Lanny McDonald.

I also agree with Hunter of Tonelli, but I would include Tonelli. I remember the buzz when the Flames acquired him. He was a key player in the '86 Stanley Cup drive.
