Fun thread, Scorp!
Question: is this exclusively for guys who never were Flames, or do ex-Flames count? Because if it’s the former, I have to take time to think...
Also, only currently active guys or all-time?

My favourite non Flame player was Paul Kariya. It's too bad he was born 15 years too early. I think he'd be ripping it in the new NHL. And he wouldn't have dirty guys like Stevens and Suter giving him multiple concussions.

Just watching him take over a game in the playoffs, when I watching the Ducks Oilers series it seemed like he was just always on the ice and controlling the play.

Watching MacKinnon single handedly curb stomp opponents this past year made me wish that Feaster’s crazy offer to the Avs was accepted.

Easy. Ryan Kesler, Kevin Bieksa, Alex Burrows, Raffi Torres. Henrik Sedin (but not Daniel, that scumbag!).

I think the point of the thread is favorite players from a team other than the one you cheer for

Nik Lidstrom is my #1 favorite player of all time. Literally the perfect player, who continually got better the older he got. Those Wings teams were stacked, but Lidstrom was the cog that held the wheel together.
When I was a kid it was Patrick Roy. Such a great competitor and the best goaltender I ever got to watch live.
