Blast from the Nordiques past?

Who was the best defenceman for the Quebec Nordiques?

I wouldn't be asking who was the best defenceman to have ever worn a Nordiques sweater. I'm asking who was the defenceman whose performance all in all was the best for them.

    Mario Marois is the only Nordique defenceman to lead the team in scoring more than twice (he did it 4x) and was the all-time scoring leader among Nordique defenceman. He was also the only Nordique defenceman to finish top 5 in Norris voting finishing 4th in 1984 (or it may have been 85).

    Dave Pichette is still among the franchise leader in points/game as a defenceman, but he had problems staying healthy

    For a short patch in the 80's, Quebec defenseman Normand Rochefort was amongst the elite defenders in the league.

    Injuries eventually did him in and he was moved to the Rangers, but he had a few dominant seasons for the Nords.

    Other than that, Adam Foote would be the guy. He really made his mark in an Avalanche jersey, though.

    Steve Finn gets my vote. He bleeds Nordique sky blue.
