Personally:
—Lemieux and Jagr are locks.
—In 10-15 years I think Crosby and Malkin will cement themselves as the other two, assuming both sign another contract in about five years. But, as of this moment, I think others have made bigger impacts:

``Ron Francis: 3rd in franchise history in assists, 100 career playoff points, huge part in the two Cups
``Tom Barrasso: 226 franchise wins, backstopped the 2 Stanley Cups
``Rick Kehoe: Only Mario and JJ have more points for the franchise, 4th in career games played
``Jean Pronovost: 3rd in the franchise in games played and 3rd in goals scored, 5th in overall points

Personally I’d round out the Mt. Rushmore with Francis and Barrasso for the time-being….But if you really have to carve it in stone it’d probably be safer to go ahead and put Sid and Geno on there.

It’s tough… Malkin and Crosby put up more impressive numbers than anyone on the list(save Mario and Jagr), but they just haven’t been around long enough…

Barrasso is kind of a tough one to add for me though as the top 4.. given he was the Pens goalie when they won the 2 cups… I don’t know… I kind of feel that the Barrasso earned his honors by being steady for a long time… more than being like Jagr or Mario being great for a long time…

I kind of want to add Coffey to the list(the 100 point seasons as a defensemen are amazing)… but he just didn’t play here long enough.

I guess I’ll go with what Hooks said, Mario, Jagr, Francis and Barrasso… but in 2-3 years… I’ll be dropping the last 2 and adding Geno and Sid
