======================
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.

voted Mcleod because I think NOW we are entering a territory where he belongs in the list. but could switch to any other, really.

Ditto to both. Krupp wasn't here long, but he was responsible for one of my favorite moments in Avs history in 3OT. He's gotta make the top 50 just for that alone.

Really should start adding guys like Nuke and Bura. Both contributed way more to the Avs than bottom sixers or backup goalies.

Nuke especially is a much better pick than anybody on that list.
