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 Dallas Stars.

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 Stars barely made the playoffs and were eliminated in the First Round.  There was only one new entrant to the top 50, and while there are three other active Stars on the list, only one saw their rank improve.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Jamie Benn

4. Marty Turco

5. Derian Hatcher

You can find the entire list here.

Benn, who was an active Star, was not able to overtake Zubov, who is a Hall of Famer for #2.  Notably, Tyler Seguin, who is also an Active Dallas Star, remained at #7.

Swedish Defenseman, John Klingberg, moved up two spots to #18.  This will be his apex, as he is now with Anaheim.

The lone new entry is Defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, who makes his first appearance at #49.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the St. Louis Blues have announced the formation of their franchise Hall of Fame.

It is a long time coming, as the team has been in existence since 1967, and they won their first Stanley Cup in 2019.

Immediately, the team has selected ten members of the Hall, comprising of eight players (all of whom who had their numbers retired by the team) and two other contributors.

Automatically inducted will be:

Bernie Federko

Bob Gassoff

Brett Hull

Dan Kelly

Al MacInnis

Barclay Plager

Bob Plager

Chris Pronger

Sid Solomon

Brian Sutter

In addition, the Blues are holding a fan vote which will help sway consideration for the other members of the first Blues Hall of Fame Class

Those who are on the fan ballot are:

Al Arbour

David Backes

Wayne Babych

Red Berenson

Scotty Bowman

Pavol Demitra

Glenn Hall

Barret Jackman

Curtis Joseph

Mike Liut

Adam Oates

Alexander Steen

Garry Unger

Keith Tkachuk

Pierre Turgeon

The inaugural class will be announced on October 15 during their home opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the first names announced to the Blues Hall of Fame, and the organization in general for taking this step.

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, Chicago failed to make the playoffs, and with an Original Six franchise, it is difficult to make it to, or advance in the list.  There was only one new entrant.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Stan Mikita

2. Bobby Hull

3. Patrick Kane

4. Glenn Hall

5. Duncan Keith

You can find the entire list here.

While Kane was active last year, he was not able to move over Hull for #2.  It is still a tall order for him to do so.

Jonathan Toews inched up one more spot to #12.

The only new entrant is Alex DeBrincat, an All-Star last year, who was traded to the Ottawa Senators in the off-season.

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 Panthers were Stanley Cup contenders, but they were eliminated in the second round.  As this is a young and loaded team, this led to three new entries on our top 50 and multiple elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which changed significantly from last year:

1. Roberto Luongo

2. Alexsander Barkov

3. Jonathan Huberdeau

4. John Vanbiesbrouck

5. Aaron Ekblad

You can find the entire list here.

Barkov, who won the Frank J. Selke in 2021 and the Lady Byng in 2019, moved to the #2 spot from #3.

Huberdeau, who was traded to the Flames in the off-season, and was a Second Team All-Star last year, also went up one rung with his new rank being #3.

Ekblad is the third mover withing the top five, with the Defenseman also edging one spot from #6. 

Defenseman, Mackenzie Weegar, reaches #19 from #33, but was also traded to Calgary along with Huberdeau.

Former Vezina Trophy winner with Columbus, Sergei Bobrovsky, enters the list at #23.

The other debuts are Defenseman, Gustav Forsling at #45 and Right Wing, Anthony Duclair at #48.
