I thought about this thread the last few days and have came up with my list. I was born in 86 so missed the glory years...
Favorite (this is in order)
Fleury - Reason why I became a Flames Fan. Should be in rafters.
Regehr - Best D Ive ever seen play for the Flames. Was a true revelation after having both legs broken I believe after draft. Warrior for the team.
Yelle - Absolute warrior and 04 wouldn't have happened without his sometimes unsung contributions.
Kipper - Flames MVP for a solid 10 years.
Backlund - Probably the best drafted and developed player(in my time) the team has had all around. Unreal 2-way dominance, and always seems to pick it up when the games matter.
Giordano - In my opinion the best captain we have had.
Conroy - Great leader and a great player for us when he came from St.Louis.
Tanev - Only watched him a few years but what an underrated player in the league. Our best D.
Cammalleri - Scored like he did it before. Loved how he didn't celebrate, was a great flame his first stint.
Bertuzzi - The one that got away. That year the flames were built for a cup run. Bert was awesome and I wish he would have stuck around.
HM : Lucic
Least Fav
Drury - Never wanted to be here.
Monahan - Soft at butter. Never progressed after getting injuries.
Friesen - Grumpty exit interview, thought he was more then a plugger.
Russel - Went to Oilers.
Ryan - Went to Oilers.
Smith - Went to Oilers.
Ference - Circus in his own zone, an absolute nightmare to watch.
Brodie - Brodie much of the same as Ference, but at least showed a glimpse offensively from time to time.
Elliot - Siv
Gaudreau (Would have probably made favorite until this past summer)
