    Six former Avalanche players -- Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, Ray Bourque, Jari Kurri and Teemu Selanne -- were among the final 67 of the NHL's 100 greatest players to be announced by the league on Friday in Los Angeles as part of its 100th anniversary celebration and All-Star Weekend.

    The first 33 players, who starred in the league's first half century (1917-1966), were named on Jan. 1 at the Centennial Classic in Toronto.

    Two former members of the Quebec Nordiques -- Peter Stastny and Mats Sundin -- also were named by a panel of 58 voters that included Avalanche television analyst Peter McNab.

    Here is the TOP 100 list.

    Sakic, currently Avalanche general manager, played his first seven seasons with Quebec. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012. He retired in 2009 as the eighth-leading scorer in NHL history with 1,641 points (625 goals, 1,016 assists). He had 188 points (84 goals, 104 assists) in 172 playoff games. He helped lead the Avalanche to Stanley Cup championships in 1996 and 2001. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 1996; Hart Trophy as league MVP in 2001, along with the Lester B. Pearson Award as NHL Players Association MVP and Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship.

    *****

    Forsberg entered the Hall of Fame in 2014. Drafted by Philadelphia in 1991, he was traded to the Nordiques in a multi-player swap that included Eric Lindros. He won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 1994-95 with Quebec, helped the Avalanche win their first Stanley Cup the following season after the franchise was moved to Denver, and was a member of the 2001 championship team. Plagued by foot injuries, Forsberg had 885 points (249 goals, 636 assists) in 708 games, with 171 points (64 goals, 107 assists) in 151 playoff games. He won the Art Ross Trophy as league scoring champion with 106 points (29 goals, 77 assists)) and Hart Trophy in 2003. He is third in franchise history for assists (538), and fifth for goals (217) and points (755).

    *****

    Roy, acquired in a December 1995 trade with Montreal, retired in 2003 as the NHL's all-time winningest goalie with 551 wins (since broken by Martin Brodeur) and 151 playoff wins. Elected to the Hall of Fame in 2006, Roy is the Avalanche's all-time franchise leader for wins (262) and shutouts (37). He won the Stanley Cup four times -- with Colorado in 1996 and 2001, and with the Canadiens in 1986 and 1993. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1986, 1993 and 2001. He coached the Avalanche from 2013-2016.

    *****

    Bourque was acquired from Boston in February 2000 and was an integral member of the 2001 championship team. He had 73 points (15 goals, 58 assists) in 94 games with Colorado, with 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in 34 playoff games. He is the league's all-time leader among defensemen for goals (410), assists (1,169) and points (1,579). He won the Calder Trophy in 1980 and the Norris Trophy as best defenseman in 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1994. Bourque was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2006.

    *****

    Kurri played his final NHL season (1997-98) with the Avalanche, when he had 22 points (five goals, 17 assists) in 70 games, and scored his 600th goal. He won the Stanley Cup five times with Edmonton and also played for Los Angeles, the New York Rangers and Anaheim. He had 1,398 points (601 goals, 797 assists) and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2001.

    *****

    Selanne played one season with the Avalanche (2003-04) and had 32 points (16 goals, 16 assists) in 78 games. He won the Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007. He had 1,457 points (684 goals, 773 assists) with Winnipeg, the Ducks and San Jose. He's a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame in 2017.

    *****

    Stastny played parts of 10 seasons with the Nordiques, winning the Calder Trophy in 1981. He also played for New Jersey and St. Louis, retiring in 1994-95. He had 1,239 points (450 goals, 789 assists) and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1998.

    *****

    Sundin played his first four seasons with the Nordiques, the next 13 with Toronto and his final NHL season (2008-09) with Vancouver. He had 1,349 points (564 goals, 785 assists) and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2012.
