Didn't skip #2 and that was a bigger slam dunk than #5, IMO.

Sarge for me but Hamrlik was a pretty underrated player. He really was amazing as Phaneufs partner. Dion never had the same magic with anybody else in his entire career.
Shout out to Baxter, Ference and Leopold. Andersson also has a good chance to make his mark among these fours.

I voted Sarge, but all of Hamrlik, Leopold, Bouwmeester and Russell were all quite good for us and Andersson hopefully will be the winner of this in a few years time.

Flames best shut down defenseman ever.
Hands down, Sarge.

Sarge today, Rasmus in five years (hopefully).
Maybe the better question is who is in second place? Leopold, Hamrlik, Bouwmeester, and Russell all had their strengths and weaknesses, but none really stand out above the rest. In terms of best actual player, Bouwmeester is probably on top, but Leopold and Hamrlik were both pretty good as well (in Calgary).

I went with Bouwmeester as I don't really remember enough of Sarge to vote for him, I think Bouwmeester was the most talented player of the ones I did watch, and I think he got the crapped on Brodie treatment from many on CP because he didn't live up to our expectations offensively. He proved his status as a great defenceman by being named to the Canadian Olympic team after being traded to the Blues (and winning a gold medal)

Part of the reason that I have a soft spot for Hamrlik is that the signing brought credibility to the Flames organization after not being able to land high caliber free agents. Combined with the playoff run the previous year, it brought the Flames back into fold for being a destination.

Kind of surprised Jay did not get more votes.
I can see Brad winning, but Jay's body of work as a Flames is very similar. Maybe not as good defensively.
Hammer had the best body of work from his career but he was not with the Flames long enough.

I voted Hamrlik... I think he was a huge part of Phaneuf's early success. But shoutout to Kris Russell, who has become a little underappreciated for just how effective he was here.

I wear my CCM retro red with McCrimmon on the back to Flames games. A small tribute to a great, honest player, beast of a defender and tremendous teammate by all accounts. Perhaps one of the all time underrated Flames. Former Flames captain and assistant coach.
Still heartbreaking to remind myself that he’s gone too soon. There always seems to be someone around cutting onions when I think of it.

Me too! Wasn’t Kyte the first hearing impaired player in the NHL? I think he wore hearing aids when he played.
Lots of likeable players in this poll. I have good memories of Leo, Hamrlik, Bouw, and Russell. Hopefully Andersson can live up to these guys. He seems to be on the right track.

I had to look at the poll results to find out who sarge was. A first I thought maybe you guys were talking about Keith and David’s friend from Six Feet Under.

Voted Hammer. He was better here than Jbo, even tho Jbo has had a better career.

Weird. Looks like he was #5 in both Atlanta and Calgary (and I only ever remember him wearing #5), but there are tons of images online of him wearing #22 in a Calgary jersey and only a couple of him wearing #5 in a Calgary jersey.
I have no clue what happened, but I remember him as #5 clear as day. Potvin was my favourite player back then, so I have this weird thing about #5s during those early years (for me).
