[*]Fleury - face of the franchise between the Cup and Iggy. I think he wins all kinds of personal awards absent his personal demons[*]Nieuwendyk - won a cup, hugely underrated talent
[*]Giordano - maybe the best team guy and his backgrounds makes him even more special
[*]McDonald - I have to admit I'm an outlier when it comes to Lanny - I was never a huge fan like others
[*]Vernon - his personality gets in the way of me liking him more
[*]Regher - another underrated guy. I think he ranks among the best pure defensive defencemen ever
[*]Nilsson - he, Fleury and Gaudreau may be the most gifted guys in Flame history
[*]Gaudreau - I think he was the one who sort of brought the Flames back into NHL attention. I can't recall a rookie, including Iginla and Newy, making a bigger public impact (Fleury might have if he hadn't been a late season addition).

I agree. I too have never regarded Lanny as highly as others.
