If Mitchell doesn't win this I'll lose a lot of respect for these boards.

Leschyshyn, Ozolinsh, and Duchene.

extremely disgusted I can't vote TJ "Henchman" Hensick, Wojtek "Can't Check" Wolski, and Brad "Guilty Of" Larsen

 

[AslanRH]

#7 was a bit of a tossup, and although I'll probably lose some sleep over it, I had to go with Ricci. He gave those early teams something special that made them even more likeable

 

[Gabriel Landeskog]

de vries, ozo, duchene

 

[UncleRisto]

Went with de Vries.

 

[Tweaky]

#7 and #9 are the toughest calls for me so far, and possibly will remain so throughout.

7: De Vries, edges out Leschyshyn in that he played more games as an Av (less if you count Nord years...but for this I do not), despite very similar careers, each won a cup with us, and so on.

8: Ozo wins handily, although pure career, Selanne is tops...but his year here was crap comparatively.

9: Duchene takes it, but Ricci was much closer to winning than I bet most folks would agree with. Ricci won a cup, was a fan favorite, was good in his role, and to my knowledge, the only Av to win Denver's sexiest athlete. But Duchene is a much better hockey player, and while I rarely would vote on potential for something like this...I have to this time. Kariya would win best career, but only one less than stellar year here kills his chances.

#7 is pretty much neck and neck, so need as many votes on possible on this.

If Mitchell doesn't win this I'll lose a lot of respect for these boards.

Why?? He's against 2 top 4 defensemen that won cups with the Avs.

woooo now I can vote

De Vries, Ozolinsh and Ricci.

Exact same way I voted.

 

[hockeyfish]

I like Duchene, and was way tempted to vote Ricci. But Kariya is quite possibly my favorite player of all time. So, just had to vote him. So sue me.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

The gap between Ricci and Dutchy should be no where near as big as it is.

 

[Tweaky]

True, but I think it is more a result of many of us barely voting for Duchene over Ricci, rather than the blowout it appears to be.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

I think the fact that Dutchy is a newer player factors in. Ricci's been gone what...17 years or so.

Why can't I vote?

Why can't I vote?

Because the poll is closed. I'm going to put the next one up shortly
