Kipper over Vernon is pretty easy in my mind. I was around for both, so it isn't discounting the old guys. Vernon was great in 89, but overall just wasn't as good as Kipper in my opinion.
For me, Mr. Rushmore would need to be around 10 deep before Vernon makes it. Looks like Iggy, Lanny and Kipper are in. MacInnis, Fleury, Gio would be my next 3. Then the next tier I think you would need to consider Gaudreau, Vernon, perhaps Backlund or Niewy.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
