======================
I've had an idea. Let's decide who the greatest players in Avalanche history are.

• You decide what "greatest" means.
• Only judge players based on their Avalanche careers. This means no extra points for Sakic's time with the Nordiques, or Ray Bourque's time with the Bruins.
• Poll will be open for a few days.
• Each time you vote, suggest a player who should be added for the next round.
• If there's no consensus on who should be added I'll just pick the next player who's played the most games.
• Here's a list of everyone: Colorado Avalanche all-time player list at hockeydb.com

After ROR I like Klemm and Hinote, and McLeod has earned a spot at some point, but after that it's a bunch of players on the list I kinda don't care about. Is it time to add Aebischer? Budaj? Kadri? Craig Anderson? We need players on the list who people sometimes thought about.

 

[GeoRox89]

Add Naz or Toews

 

[Babel Salamander]

I haven't been participating but Kadri should be on here for authoring two of the greatest playoff moments in Avs history last season... the hat trick and the game 4 OT goal in the Final.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Add Naz or Toews

Add both

 

[HockeyFan100]

Add Kadri

 

[famicommander]

Voted Hinote.

Add Keane.

 

[MacKaRant]

Honestly, I think Kadri and Toews should be ahead of any of the options here. Bad job us in nominating.

 

[CaleMakaw]

ROR. Add toews.

 

[Babel Salamander]
