Surprised Brian Bradley is even on the ballot but I'm sure someone really edgy will throw a vote at him.

regarding Brian Bradley- obviously he's in over his head here but still an interesting player- he moved on to have a useful career, and some big seasons with the expansion lightning
but an under-sized guy who came around in the midst of a roughly 5 year stretch where the Flames drafted (or signed as college free agents ) a host of forwards: Quinn, Roberts, Hull, Makarov, Hrdina, Otto, Nieuwendyk, Berezan, Ranheim, Kromm, Patterson, Beers, etc etc
sure they weren't ever all here at the same time but there just wasn't room for everyone, given that there were also some pretty darn good established veterans kicking around
