If Martin Gelinas and Craig Conroy count, they are number 1 and 2 in no particular order. Heart and soul players, so glad they are both still with the org.
Eric Nystrom! I liked him initially because he wore #23 (Gelinas was my favorite from the 2004 era team), but he grew on me as a guy who was never super talented but played his ass off.
I have great memories of Ville Niemenen's giant mouth both literally and figuratiely.
Micheal Ferland probably gave me more concentrated happiness in the Canucks series in 2015 than any individual Flames player before or since.
I wanted Olli Jokinen to be a star here so bad and rooted for him until the bitter end.
He wasn't a very good hockey player but it felt very good to have Eric Godard providing the nuclear deterrent. Same for Brandon Prust.
Henrik Karlsson looked so promising for a little while there, and had some of the nicest Flames masks in recent memory.
