Oilers Mt. Puckmore/Suckmore Nominations

Editor's Note: Doogie's FanPost is timely as Puck Daddy has commissioned noted Edmonton-area artist Bruce McCurdy to carve the Oilers' Mount Puckmore. Bruce is working on the monument as we speak, but has not made his final decision as to who will be included. I'm pretty sure he's wrong though, so he can use some convincing. Doogie's other suggestion, putting together a Mount Suckmore, is excellent. Executives don't count in Mount Puckmore, so they don't count in Mount Suckmore either, sorry Tyler.

Puck Daddy's August feature this year is Mt. Puckmore, featuring the four people you naturally think of when you think of your franchise. Tyler, Ben, and I discussed this briefly on Twitter last night, and I nominated Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, and Smyth; Tyler replaced Kurri with Lowe and Ben had 99, 11, Cujo, and Todd Marchant. So, I figure, since we don't know who's doing the Oilers' Puckmore yet, let's open this up to the community and start some arguments.

And while we're at it, let's hear who you think goes on Mt. Suckmore, whose purpose is pretty well self-explanatory. Peter Pocklington is the free space; who are the other three? Has Jean-Francois Jacques earned a spot yet? Bryan Marchment? Who else have I blocked from my memory?
