Prior to signing with the Quebec Nordiques of the World Hockey Association in 1973, Serge Bernier had played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings and had done well producing a 50 Point Season for each of them. 

One of the great young stars of the game, Nathan MacKinnon came into the National Hockey League as the first overall Draft Pick in 2013.  As a rookie, the Nova Scotian Center would win the Calder Trophy with 63 Points.  MacKinnon did not hit that mark over the next three years, but in 2017-18, he would have a 97 Point year with a league-leading 12 Game Winning Goals.  He would also be named a Second Team All-Star and was second in Hart Trophy voting.

In terms of tenure, few can match what Adam Foote did for the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche.

J.C. Tremblay had an excellent career in the National Hockey League, where he was a five-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Montreal Canadiens.  That is true,  but this is a list about the all-time Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques, the team where Tremblay had his best individual success.
