Has to be Wilson, Zalapski, McLennan or Rittich doesn't it?
Zalapski was a heck of a defenseman, that wasn't a bad trade, at least at first. Then he lost it with injuries.
McLennan was a great solider, and an important part of the room.
Rittich has been the defacto guy for two years in the nets.
But for me Carey Wilson was such an exciting add to the team. The Flames were still relatively new in town and Wilson was on the Canadian Olympic team in Sarajevo, joining the Flames late in the 1984 season. But the next few years he provided a serious push to scoring behind Kent Nilsson and the emerging Hakan Loob as the Flames started taking steps toward being contenders.
