He can easily move ahead of a few of those guys based on how this season ends.
I don't think he should be behind Vernon and I have never considered Nilsson an all time Flame.

Sure, Nilsson scored a ton of points, but he never displayed that drive or heart to endear him to Flames fans, at least not me. I guess to me he never wore the Flames on his sleeve.

I would say Giordano is second best Flame defenseman, behind Al MacInnis, and ahead of Gary Suter for sure.

But I have always held Brad McCrimmon in high favor, even though he was not a Flame for a long time. Not many showed more heart and drive during the run to the Stanley Cup than McCrimmon...he was a warrior.
