As Good Ole Bob Hartley would say, "Who is Turd?"

Factor and Duchene are #1 and #2, who is the next best Avalanche?


Star-divide

This is going to get very interesting very soon. Is it the captain? Landy? Stastny? Giggy or Varly? Winnik? It's up to you.

As a reminder--- So what is best? For the purposes of this poll, let's just say it includes overall game, not just stats and let's go with the overall player and not just this season. But when it comes down to a tie, what they are doing this year should be the tie breaker.

I clicked Varly, but totally (somehow) forgot about Landeskog…..Landy by a landslide (avalanche?)

I voted Landy, but I had to think about the goalies and even Winnik.

Peter McNabb thinks I'm outstanding.

Hejduk is the must under-appreciated Avalanche player of all-time. I voted Hejduk.

Yes he is. I actually argued with AJ about whether or not his number should be retired. I finally convinced him by the end of last season that it should.

Do I have to go back and update my post about Hejduk? With the stats he has for this franchise, the fact that he has tied or beaten Sakic in some areas as an Av……there is no doubt in my mind hi number should be retired.

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

Thanks for everything Foppa!

Stastny

he can’t put it all together, but he still probably has the better skill set. Match that with how good he is defensively and he is our next best player. I think once Duchene comes back, the line of Duchene – Stas – Mueller could be real dangerous. That let’s Gali roam on his 3rd line where he excels (i think that’s the right version?) real well.

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

I voted Landy but either Landy or Stastny should be number 3

amazing how the different days go. Jiggy and Dutchy were battling yesterday, you would think that JS would win today…but its not looking like that.

Jiggy.

let’s go with the overall player and not just this season.

I stopped voting because I really think people are forgetting this. I love love LOVE O’Reilly, but no way he’s better than Duchene, Giguere or Stastny in the “whole package, whole career” sense.

I was hoping the tie breaker clause would re-enforce that, but what the hey…

I’ll leave this open one more day, mostly because Landy and Giggy are tied, but mostly because I’m lazy.
