I liked Iggy, but I had different favourites during his tenure, like Kipper, Lombardi, Kobasew, Nystrom, Savard.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Makarov criminally underrepresented in the faves lists

[SaskyFlamesFan]

Top 10 Favs:

1) Vernon
2) MacInnis
3) Otto
4) Loob
5) Iginla
6) Giordano
7) McDonald
8) Fleury
9) Kipper
10) Tim Hunter



Getting the hated list is really tough:

1) Rob Niedermeyer
2) Nik Grossman
3) Rene Corbet
4) Rico Fata

That’s all I can come up with.

He drove then coach Bob Johnson crazy because he never knew which player would show up for each game. In the end he was trade to Minnesota for a 2nd round pick that ended up being Joe Nieuwendyk.

To carry on Nieuwendyk ended up getting us Iginla, which makes it an awesome trade tree. We had top talent from 1979 to 2013 because of Nilsson.
