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

Ryan Wilson (2009-2015)	Andrew Brunette (2005-2008)	David Aebischer (2000-2006)	Sylvain Lefebvre (1995-1999)	Karlis Skrastins (2003-2008)	Scott Parker (1998-2003, 2006-2008)	Wojtek Wolski (2005-2010)

Notes: The second best body checker in Avalanche history, plus look at that Adam's apple	Notes: Had a PPG season	Notes: Stanley Cup (as a backup) (2001), great hair yet traded for a guy on Rogaine	Notes: Stanley Cup (1996)	Notes: Broke NHL record for consecutive games played by a defenseman (495)	Notes: Stanley Cup (2001), hates college boys	Notes: Pushed a guy off a porch once

Sorry I'm late, I was out last night.

Add Zadorov

E: Yeah, or Hejda.

 

[famicommander]

As a connoisseur of the gooning arts I wholeheartedly endorse Scott Parker in this poll.

 

[Nzap]

The 45th best player is Steven Reinprecht, but as he is curiously missing, I will vote Lefebvre.

Add Reinprecht

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Skrastins.

Add Damphousse.

 

[UncleRisto]

Wolski, obviously.

 

[Bone Breaker]

voted Ryan bamf Wilson but as stated previously, Parker should have made the ranking several spots earlier. so Id advocate on voting on him.

add Hejda. second best D on the team for several seasons. some nights even better than EJ.

 

[Hasbro]

Dingman was the better goon.

 

[Ceremony]

Hey cool, a three way.
