It's gotta be Sarge, but I have a soft spot for Jordan Leopold. Like Brodie, very skilled an intelligent, but not an imposing player on the ice. Yet, he had a very good career and contributed to some major moments in Flames history. I almost went Leopold and I wouldn't blame anyone else who did.

Man, tough one here.
Was a huge fan of Jordan Leopold. Bouwmeester had a solid run in Calgary. McCrimmon was largely before my time as a Flames fan. Rasmus is probably my favorite current player.

Went with Sarge but almost picked Kyte because I met him when I was a kid.

Yup....definition of a guy that played the game the right way. Tough SOB as well.
Made sure his own end was taken care of first but also was pretty good on offense as well. Really smart player.

People forget McCrimmon was named a second-team all-star. Back when the NHL still recognized defensive defencemen with awards and all-star nods.
Suter was also named as a second-team all-star that season (87-88). Can't be many times in modern NHL history that two d-men from the same team were named 1st or 2nd team all-stars. Last one was probably Niedermeyer and Pronger.

I went with Andersson, just to be un-apologetically presentist.

I went with McCrimmon, but I took a long hard look at Hamrlik and Bouwmeester. In the end we didn't do well with Bouwmeester on the team (not his fault the team wasn't built that strongly but he wasn't a part of teams where he was able to show how valuable he could be) and Hamrlik spend only two short years here. MacCrimmon did well in his only 3 years in Calgary. He was a hard nosed leader who helped take us to the Cup and was the captain after Lanny Retired.

Burned in my brain is that behind the scenes video of Kevin Lowe insisting they take Seabrook over Bouwmeester for Team Canada in 2010.
Kevin Lowe is no good.

I don't want to take anything away from McCrimmon but three years with the Flames is not a very long time. Andersson, however, is under contract longer than any current Flame.

I know McCrimmon is the easy choice and will win this one in a landslide (and rightfully so), but I see Andersson as a #1A in the very near future.
I voted for not just what Andersson already is, but also for what he’s going to be.
(I also almost voted for Rautakallio just because he was by far my favourite player-name as a kid, lol.)

Almost went Hamrlik. When Phaneuf entered the league and looked like a franchise player, Hamrlik was the reason. Raised the game of anyone he played with.

I think Bouwmeester is the best player out of all of those names but I voted for McCrimmon cause he had a huge impact in his time here.

Marsh, Russell, Sheehy... I mean, obviously it goes to Gio, but there have been some pretty decent #5s here.

I liked Hamrlik a lot when he was with the Flames, but I had to go with Sarge.
Some pretty decent players to pick from in this group though.
