======================
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

I'm quite surprised by how hard it is to find headshots for some of these guys.

Someone's going to have to explain Aebischer to me. He wasn't very good.
Neither was Hinote, neither was McLeod, and neither was De Vries. I don't get these votes.

Lappy was an absolute legend with the Avs— fighting, hitting, scoring goals, all while being endearing and having one of the best personalities the team. Without a doubt one of the most entertaining Avs players of all time. To me, he should be way higher on this list.

voted Compher just because. actually I would prefer to vote on Aebischer, who I think is the real #3 goalie on Avs history, but whatever.

add Marek Svatos. I just noticed he is the biggest goalscorer still out of the list, with 96 goals through 5 seasons.
