Our All-Time Top 50 Detroit Red Wings have been revised to reflect the 2024-25 Season

Not in Hall of Fame

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 maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2025/26 revision of our top 50 Detroit Red Wings.

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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the rebuilding Red Wings again failed to make the playoffs, but the Original Six team could cause some damage this year.  There were no new entrants and only one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

1. Gordie Howe
2. Nicklas Lidstrom
3. Steve Yzerman
4. Terry Sawchuk
5. Ted Lindsay 

You can find the entire list here.

The only change on the list is Dylan Larkin, who moved up two spots to #29.

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