Boods, Riku and Sauer.

Riku kind of a homer-vote though.

The other two clear choices.

This one might be furthest down on the excitement pole of all the threads

 

[Bonzai12]

Hunter over Hahl.

The other ones are obvious

Hunter scored 1/2 as many points as Hahl in about 1/10 of Games Played. He was a much better player.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Budaj, Hunter, Sauer

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Boods, Hunter, Winnik.

Am I thinking of a different Kurt Sauer than the other voters?

 

[UncleRisto]

Wow this poll is ugly.

 

[DRL]

Ugly lol

 

[The Shermanator]

Booooooooods

You might be confusing him with Jeff Finger.

No, I remember Finger being good.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

That's what the Leafs said, too.

 

[Bonzai12]

I remember Kurt Sauer getting like 8 mins a game and people going nuts about his Corsi ranking. Then he went to the Coyotes got more PT and played like 69 games before his career was over.

Glad to see Winnik finally pulling ahead of him.

This season makes me want to pick Pickard. But Budaj was around for a long time. Hmmmm.

Finger was great for us, but I had to laugh at the Leafs when they signed him to that big contract and he fizzled out there.

I voted for Pickard, Hunter, and Winnik. Pickard is still largely unproven and Budaj had a much larger body of work for us, but I just don't really remember him being good at all.

Was this Hunter's second stint with the franchise? I vaguely remember him being a Nordique back in the day.

Yes it was at the end of his career.

He was originally traded by Quebec in 1987 for the #15 pick - Joe Sakic (Hunter went to Washington)

Nords got robbed!

 

[Bone Breaker]

Pickard (I have high hopes for him), Hunter and Sauer (last one was a wash, could have gone eitherway)

Corsi didn't exist in 2007

Also his Wikipedia page tells me he stopped playing because of concussion symptoms, and that he isn't actually retired.

If we can get this one to 50 I'll put up the next one

Corsi started somewhere between 2006 and 2008 by some edmonton fan

Can we get one more vote on this one? If we don't get to 50 it might kill my OCD.

Edit: thanks guys

I believe I may be the Foote-note to this one at voter #52, your OCD can rest easy
