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 New Jersey Devils.
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 Devils regressed and failed to make the postseason, but there were three elevations from this young core of players.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Martin Brodeur
2. Scott Stevens
3. Scott Niedermayer
4. Patrik Elias
5. Ken Daneyko
You can find the entire list here.
Center Nico Hischier climbed to #24 from #31.
Jesper Bratt is right behind Hischier. The Wing moved to #25 from #38.
The third elevation is Jack Hughes, now at #33 from #39.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other. The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.
At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:
The new 41 to 50:
41. Paul Henderson
42. Bobby Smith
43. Patrik Elias
44. Andy Moog
45. Vladimir Krutov
46. Brian Propp
47. Pat Stapleton
48. Alexei Kasatonov
49. Neal Broten
50. Mathieu Schneider
Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.
Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the New Jersey Devils.
An expansion team in 1974, the Devils were originally the Kansas City Scouts, but they only stayed there for two years before relocating to Denver and becoming the Colorado Rockies. That only lasted six years before they relocated to New Jersey to become the Devils. After a few more years of mediocrity, they adopted a defensive strategy and won three Stanley Cups, 1995, 2000 & 2003.
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 NHL.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019-20 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Martin Brodeur
4. Patrik Elias
5. Ken Daneyko
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
As always we thank you for your support.
Patrik Elias played 20 years in the National Hockey League, all of which were in a New Jersey Devils uniform.
