My gut tells me it's bourque. For all his warts, he produced goals and was a legit top 6 player for most of his time in Calgary. 21 goals in his first 58 games.

But the team also had no playoff success with him.

Hrdina was a member of that cup winning team but was maybe a shallow contributor.

I think he was had a larger contribution off the ice. He was a unique personality that was known to keep the guys loose.
For a team, that most years, played really tight in the playoffs - I think having a couple guys around to keep them a little more loose was important.
He played a similar role in Pittsburgh where he was a mentor to Jagr and helped him develop into a pro.

Of course I may be biased.

Krivokrasov was one of the few players that brought me over to the Flames side. He wont get many votes but he gets mine.

Twelve games total as a Flame and left unprotected in the expansion draft?

He was a blackhawk when I was a fan of theirs. He was one of my favorite players. That time the Hawks were being dismantled and Amonte and Cheli9s were the high octane guys. And a player Named Eric Daze was pretending to be Eric Lindros for a little while until C9ncussions got him.

Yeah Kriv didnt come.to CGY immediately after the Hawks but he got me interested in them when he went there.

If I follow my own criteria it's gotta be Hrdina

I just have a real soft spot for 10 goals Chris Clark.

He was always working his Krivokrassov out there!

Pretty indifferent to almost every player on this list, and I have a Lucic jersey (two actually, if I count my Boston Lucic) so I went with him.

[Reggie Dunlop]

It's Jamie Hislop.

Bingo: Hey man I moved this all inside the spoiler ... people enjoy seeing the numbers coming up one at a time without the futures look. If people want to see it they can look inside and keep some of the surprise.

Well thanks for spoiling it.

This one is also tough if you're treating this whole affair as a vote for the Flames All-Name team (as you should be). Sergei Krivokrasov is a hockey name hall of famer, and Wes Walz is ni slouch... but I think Hnat Domenichelli still takes it.

[Rejean31]

HIslop. Gotta get the spelling correct.
