season, his last in the NHL. The 37-year old played in 70 games for the Avs, scoring 5 goals - including his 600th - and 17 assists. He retired after that season. Christian Matte - Matte had 4 brief stints with the Avalanche between the 96-97 and 99-00 seasons. He played in 22 games, scored 5 points and wore #27 , #14 and #17 . Radim Vrbata - Vrbata briefly wore #12 as an Avalanche rookie, but gave that up to Mike Keane when he was re-acquired at the 2001 trade deadline. He went with #17 and stuck with that for the rest of his short stay in Colorado. Vrbata played 118 games for the Avs, scored 29 goals, 31 assists, +7 and 30 penalty minutes. While Kumpel is still tops for the franchise in games played, Vrbata passes Berglund for points (although we don't know how many he scored in #12 vs #17). Jim Cummins - The enforcer came out of retirement to sign with the Avs for the 2003-2004 Stanley Cup run. Wearing #17, Cummins played in 55 games scoring 3 points and racking up 147 penalty minutes. He re-retired after that season. Jaroslav Hlinka - The Czech import notched 28 points in 63 games in his one NHL season in Colorado before taking his turtlenecks back to Europe. Chuck Kobasew - The most recent #17 scored 14 points in 58 games in his first season in Denver. Well, there's the amazing list. Perhaps it would be better
