43. Nate Schmidt

Nate Schmidt was an eight-year NHL veteran when the Defenseman was traded to the Winnipeg Jets from Vancouver.  In the three seasons in Manitoba, he was a stay-at-home defenseman who could provide offensive punch in situational play. 

Schmidt accured65 Points with 286 Hits and 148 Blocked Shots

35. Brenden Dillon

Brenden Dillon was an undrafted Defenseman who had already logged nearly 12 years of pro service before he was traded from Washington to Winnipeg in the summer of 2021.

Dillon brought size and toughness to the Jets blueline, and while he was known for his defensive acumen, he also had his best offensive numbers with Winnipeg, compiling three straight 20-Point years, including 8 Gals in 2023-24, which turned out to be his last year in Winnipeg as he signed in the 2024 off-season with New Jersey.

He left Winnipeg with 63 Points, 651 Hits, and 327 Blocked Shots.

1967 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the years up to 1966.

For “1967,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1961. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

35 Votes took place, with the top fifteen advancing.

This is for the “Modern Era”

We will post Class of the 1967 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project next Saturday.

Thank you to all who contributed. If you want to be part of this project, please let us know!

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Toronto Raptors.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Raptors went all out, as in jettisoning all players out.  That was an exaggeration, but beyond Scottie Barnes, there were not many reasons to watch a Toronto game.  Nevertheless, there were a few elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Kyle Lowry
2. Chris Bosh
3. Vince Carter
4. DeMar DeRozan
5. Pascal Siakam

You can find the entire list here.

Pascal Siakam was unable to climb up from #5 before he was traded to the Indiana Pacers.

O.G. Anunoby, who was traded to the New York Knicks during the season, went up one spot to #13.

Former Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes climbed to #17 from #26.

Jakob Poeltl went from #31 to #25.

Gary Trent Jr, who is now with Milwaukee, reached #30 from #33.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
