Ron Hainsey played five seasons with the Thrashers/Jets and the American born blueliner would have his best pro seasons for that organization.  Hainsey would score 39 Points in the 2008/09 season, which was his best offensive output of his career.

Chris Thorburn played 801 NHL Games, 709 of which were with Atlanta/Winnipeg (2007-17).

Mark Schiefele was taken with the Seventh Overall Pick in 2011, and the native of Kitchener, Ontario, cracked the Jets roster for seven Games that year.  After making it for four Games in the next year, Schiefle was primed to break out as a bona fide NHL player. 

Statistically, Dany Heatley should merit a higher ranking, but in 2003, he crashed his car, which killed his friend and teammate, Dan Snyder, causing him to miss nearly a full season.  Heatley would request a trade from Atlanta to put the past behind him, thus alienating the fan base that stood by him who supported him through the tragedy.
