Gio would be #4 or 5 for me. Lanny Theo and Iginla are the clubs icons. Kipper was the best goalie in team history. MacInnis and nieuwendyk were talented (as were a host of others like Nilsson) but what puts Gio above them is his continued commitment to the flames. Most of the 89 crew cold shouldered the flames for a few bucks and even later when there was a job opening nieuwy and MacInnis steered clear. Committment on and off the ice x talent. Gio is right up there for me. When he wins a Norris this year will cement it.
