(This
is a series that will run through the offseason that highlights the best,
worst, and most irrelevant players to wear each number from 1 to whenever there
isn’t enough players that wore a certain number to do this. So…here…we…go…)
#10. Not exactly a highlight number for the
Avalanche. In the Nordiques days the number had a bit more power to it. Well actually
that is not true. Number 10 seems to be the number you give to a guy to use for
a year or two. But hey Guy “The Flower” Lafleur wore it for two seasons with
Quebec at the end of his career.
The Best would have to be Troy Murray simply
because while wearing it he was part of a Stanley Cup winning team in 96. He
played 63 games that year with 7 goals and 14 assists for 21 points. That is
second most points in a year for anyone wearing big bad number 10. Only Ville
Nieminen had more points as 10 with 24. While Nieminen was also part of a
cup team he was wearing number 39 while doing it so doesn’t count.
The worst choice is honestly probably everyone
else on the list. Well maybe not the worst everyone else is just irrelevant. I
will give the worst to Brad May
because he caused trouble for the Avs as a Canuck and I am not sure why he was
ever brought to the Avs twice!
The irrelevant is seriously everyone else not
mentioned. Josef Marha, Warren Rychel, Serge Aubin, Wyatt
Smith and Kyle Cumiskey. All these players did close to nothing much
in the games they wore good old number 10.
