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 2022/23 revision of our top 50 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, Winnipeg snuck into the playoffs, but this is such a strange list to do. The Jets technically do not own the history of the original team (although they honor that period), so we have to do his list based on this rendition which began as the Atlanta Thrashers. There was one new entry and several fluctuations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change:
You can find the entire list here.
Hellebucyk, a former Vezina Trophy winner, took over #2, and should overtake Wheeler with a good year for the top spot on the next list. Scheifele, who is still active, did not do enough to move up over Byfuglien.
Left Wing, Kyle Connor, climbed to #6 from #9.
Defenseman, Josh Morrissey, had a breakout year, and reached #9 from #16.
Danish Left Wing, Nikolaj Ehlers, moved up two spots to #10.
Defenseman, Neil Pionk, had a nice jump, advancing to #18 from #29.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
Left Wing, Adam Lowry, went to #25 from #37.
Forward, Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is now with the Los Angeles Kings, rocketed from #49 to #31.
The lone new entry was Defenseman, Dylan DeMelo, who enters the list at #36.
We thank you for your continued support for our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
