Gabriel Landeskog remains with the Colorado Avalanche as of this writing and has performed very well for the only NHL team he has ever played for.

The Stastny name is legendary with the Nordiques/Avalanche franchise, and the second generation begins with Paul Stastny.

Semyon Varlamov played eight years for the Colorado Avalanche, and while they did not have a lot of trips to the post-season while he was there, the Russian Goalie certainly was not the issue. 

When most people think of the 1977 Avco Cup Champion Quebec Nordiques, they think of the "Flying Frenchmen" of Marc Tardif, Réal Cloutier, and Serge Bernier.  There was also a Quebecer who played in the net and made a significant contribution to those great teams.  That man was Richard Brodeur.
