Gaudreau led the Flames in six of his eight seasons, the best of which came in 2021-22, where he recorded 40 goals and 75 assists for a career-high 115 points. He suited up for 602 games in a Flames sweater, scoring 210 goals and 609 points, the latter of which is fifth in franchise history.

4. Joe Nieuwendyk

The most productive seasons of Joe Nieuwendyk’s Hall of Fame career, in which he racked up 1,126 points, came with the Flames. The American centreman was selected 27th overall by the Flames in 1985, and wound up logging 577 games with the organization. His 314 goals are third in franchise history, while his 616 points are third.

Nieuwendyk, like several others on this list, played a major role in the Flames’ Stanley Cup championship in 1989. That season saw him score 51 goals for the second-straight year, while putting up 82 points. He continued to be productive in the playoffs, finding the back of the net 10 times in 22 outings. He was also able to win the Calder Trophy in his rookie season, one in which he had 92 points.

3. Theoren Fleury

Though his career was tainted with several off-ice incidents, there is no denying the fact that Theoren Fleury is one of the best players to ever wear a Flames jersey. He too was a part of the Flames’ Stanley Cup championship, having been called up partway through the 1988-89 season.

Fleury twice surpassed the 100-point mark with the Flames and is second in franchise history with 364 goals and 830 points, totals that came in just 791 games. Though undersized, he wasn’t afraid to play a mean game, as proven by the fact that he racked up 1,339 penalty minutes in a Flames sweater.

2. Al MacInnis

The player who won the Conn Smythe during the Flames’ Stanley Cup championship was none other than Al MacInnis, who is undoubtedly the best defenceman in franchise history. Remembered for his booming shot from the point, MacInnis put up ridiculous numbers during his time in Calgary, including a 103-point season in 1990-91.

MacInnis is seventh in franchise history with 213 goals, and third in points with 822. Surprisingly, he never won a Norris Trophy during his time with the Flames, but was a finalist on four separate occasions. He would go on to get one Norris Trophy with the St. Louis Blues in 1998-99.

1. Jarome Iginla

There was no doubt as to who the top spot on this list was going to be. Jarome Iginla is without a doubt the best player to ever wear a Flames uniform, and is one of the better talents to ever lace up the skates in the NHL. The unfortunate reality is that Iginla was forced to play on some rather underwhelming teams throughout his Flames tenure, which likely hurt what are still some incredible numbers.
