Gabriel Landeskog is still with the Colorado Avalanche as of this writing and has done very well for the only NHL team that he has ever played for.

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

Semyon Varmalov 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, Real Cloutier, and Serge Bernier.  There was also a Quebecer who was in the net who played a large part in those great teams.  That man was Richard Brodeur.
