Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2021/22 revision of our top Winnipeg Jets.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Jets failed to make the playoffs, but as this is our first update in two years, there were three new entries and multiple changes. Please note that Winnipeg technically does not have the lineal history to the original Jets, so this Top 50 is based on the franchise that originated as the Atlanta Thrashers.
As always, we present our top five:
You can find the entire list here.
Wheeler advanced to the top spot, though his time with Winnipeg might be coming to an end. Hellebuyck moved from #5 to #4, overtaking Scheifele, who stayed at #5.
Kyle Connor makes the top ten for the first time, elevating to #9 from #17.
Nikolaj Ehlers, moved up two spots to #12.
Defenseman, Josh Morrissey, reaches #16 from #21.
Center and now New York Ranger, Andrew Copp, rose from #39 to #28.
Our highest debut is Defenseman, Neal Pionk, who enters at #29.
Left Wing, Adam Lowry edged up to #37 from #41.
Forwards, Paul Stastny, who is now with the Carolina Hurricanes, enters at #45, and Pierre-Luc Dubois comes in at #48.
