Im gonna go with EK since I can’t remember every other fan base lusting after one of our players as much as Karlsson . But alfie was clearly the most loved player to ever play for this team name was chanted every game closer to his end here .

Alfie is the greatest Senator. EK65 was the most talented Senator ever. Voted for Alfie.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Overall Alfie was the best Senator ever, peak performance Karlsson was unmatched.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

With all due respect to EK, there is no comparison to Alfie. Alfredsson is one of those guys that transcended from his status as just a hockey player and was seen as the face of the franchise.

He is the greatest sports hero in Ottawa history and there ought to be a statue out front of the rink imo.

Peak Karlsson is a tier above Alfie, both should be in HHOF.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Karlsson was clearly the best player ever to play for the Sens.

Two Norris trophies. Should have won at least 1-2 more if it weren't for Pouty Due Doughty, injuries, and the Sens missing the playoffs in 2015/16 (which is ridiculous logic, but whatever).

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

This isn’t even close

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I love Alfie but it's Karlsson in everything but longevity. I'd rate his performance in 2017 above Alfie's in 2007 too.

What a shaft that Norris BS was.

He was arguably the greatest offensive defenseman of all time, let alone our time. Injuries tore him down early, but he was one of a kind.

 

[jbeck5]

If it's best career then guys like Hasek and Hossa are probably 1 and 2.

If it's greatest senators only, it's Alfredsson.

If it's best when in Ottawa its Karlsson.

Peak Karlsson was a generational talent. Too bad injuries have derailed his prime years. He paved ways for the Makars of the world to play that exciting style. I think peak Karlsson beats any defenceman at their peak today wrt to the impact he made to his team's success (and failure). Really unique.

Alfredsson is the epitome of the Senators, unperturbed and was really one of few who were able to fight back in the painful battle of ontario playoff days. He willed the Sens to their first SCF appearance. He was always super consistent and gave the Sens many years of valuable/grade A service as a player/embassador. The team was a contender and consistently made the playoffs.

EK65 leading the less talented squad on one-leg to one goal short of making their 2nd SCF appearance was likely a more impressive feat.

 

[GCK]

Alfie by a fair bit. Karlsson is a step down mostly due duration and injury. Alfie only had 2 seasons as a minus player including his rookie year.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Alfredsson for me. Longevity. Led the best teams. And while EK is definitely the most talented I think maybe some are selling Alfie short.

He got 100 points one season and was an absolutely puck hound.

 

[dumbdick]

Alfie, forever.

 

[NyQuil]

Who is Alfreddson?

 

[2CHAINZ]

I'd like Del Zotto added to the poll please.

I'd like Del Zotto added to the poll please.

I refuse to participate in this farce until Jakub Klepis is included.

 

[Zorf]

No Petr Schastlivy? What is this absolute garbage poll?

 

[Zorf]

If you want me to answer for honest, Alfredsson gets the vote, but, he's forever tainted in my opinion with the scurrying off to Detroit without telling Bryan Murray he was doing it.

He took a big steamy dump on his legacy here, and I can't forget it.

He was arguably the greatest offensive defenseman of all time,

There's 4 reasons why that's absurd.

Assen na yo!

 

[Blotto71]

Karlsson for me - that guy personally won me several hockey pools, and I will gladly buy him a beer if I ever run into him. I'll never forget picking him up in a waiver meeting years ago and several guys asking, "Erik who?!" ... "You'll find out," was my reply

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

There's 4 reasons why that's absurd.

Lol cut me some slack, I wasn't alive until well after he retired. I think my viewings of Bobby Orr are limited to about 5 highlight reels and the iconic photo of him jumping.

let's go with *excluding Bobby Orr, Karlsson was arguably the greatest offensive defenseman of all time.

 

[BradyTkachucky]

This isn't even up for debate. #11

I'd like Del Zotto added to the poll please.

But not Henrique?
