Four former Avalanche players whose numbers hang from the Pepsi Center rafters — Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, Peter Forsberg and Ray Bourque — were named to the list of the NHL’s 100 Greatest All-Time Players released Friday night in conjunction with the All-Star Game weekend in Los Angeles.
All four were among the additional 67 choices that followed the earlier revealing of the top 33.
Two other players who spent brief parts of their careers with the Avalanche, Finnish wingers Teemu Selanne and Jari Kurri, also were named to the top 100.
