HFAvs Ranks: The 50 Greatest Avalanche Players - #27

Im far from a Nuke fanboy but apart from Kadri and JTC, Id vote on Nuke ahead of Sammy G, Gusarov, Hinote and Mcleod, over half the current candidates.

I can’t see him over G. Tenure and length of impact are higher with G. Nuke right is like Pepe. Two more good years that changes.

Wait Pepe is 13th oh lord we went off the rails. I take back my 30s comment.

Claude is 39th in GP, 12th in goals and 20th in points

Nuke is 54th in GP, 25th in goals and 30th in points

That’s a decent gap and Claude was the better player

True… I recall one great year with Pepe and three pretty average ones where I wasn’t sad he was moved early in a season.

That’s pretty well exactly how it went. He’s getting a bump because fans like him and it’s the failed rebuild guys who are sitting ahead of him on franchise totals

G and JTC will probably end up lower than they should because they aren’t well liked. Nuke is getting knocked because of the gongs show in the playoffs

Statistically the difference between Burky, Nuke and Kadri is minimal but Kadri’s 21-22 season should put him ahead of the other 2

Meh. Won a Cup here so fine with that one.

Regardless of who else he played for, Brunette has always been a Wild in my mind. Also he was on that 03 Wild team so screw him. Skoula was still an Av in 03


Tangs coaching in Detroit is the weirder one. I just really hate Brunette

The other team beside the Wild I associate with Brunette is Atlanta. Which is interesting, because he peaked with the Avs.

You forget that people hate G because of that last game in the Vegas series. Despite looking good during our cup run (before his injury) and against Seattle. All people really remember is that game. Now he's just labeled as "weak in the playoffs".

And
