Our All-Time Top 50 Winnipeg Jets have been revised to reflect the 2023-24 Season
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 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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
First, as mentioned on the main Winnipeg Jets page, this takes on the lineage of the original Atlanta Thrashers, as that is the history they own, despite the acknowledgment of their previous incarnation throughout the city, team, and home arena. This is why you won’t find Dale Hawerchuk here!
Last year, the Jets had their best regular season, but they were bounced in five games in the first round. There were many changes in the Top 50, with two new entrants.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a new number one:
1. Connor Hellbucyk
2. Blake Wheeler
3. Ilya Kovalchuk
4. Mark Scheifele
5. Dustin Byfuglien
You can find the entire list here.
Hellebucyk took over the top spot at #1 off his second Vezina Trophy-winning season.
Another top five change was Mark Scheifele moving from #5 to #4.
Notably, Kyle Connor, who had a decent season, remains at #6
Defenseman Josh Morrissey went up two spots to #7.
Right behind Morrissey is Left Wing Nikolaj Ehlers, who advanced from #10 to #8.
Defenseman Neal Pionk advanced from #18 to #15.
Left Wing Adam Lowry climbed to #25 from #19.
Defenseman Dylan DeMelo went up to #32 from #36.
The first new entrant is Brenden Dillon, who appears at #35.
The second debut is Nate Schmidt, who enters at #43.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
Our All-Time Top 50 Winnipeg Jets Have Been Updated to reflect the 2022/23 Season
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:

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.
Our All-Time Top 50 Winnipeg Jets have been revised
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 first revision of our top 50 Winnipeg Jets of all-time.
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.
This one went a complete overhaul, which was reflected in our top five as seen below.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
4. Mark Sheifele
In the top five alone, Kovalchuk remains at the top, but Wheeler moves up from #6 to 2. Mark Sheifele came from #19 to #4. The biggest change in this group is Hellbuyck, who was not on the previous list, and is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. The Goalie looks to have the number one spot in sight.
Many more significant changes are present on our new top fifty, with eight new additions.
Finnish Right Wing and one-time All-Star, Patrik Laine, debuts at #11.
Jacob Trouba, who was traded to the New York Rangers last year, moved up ten spots to #13.
Danish Wing, Nikolaj Ehlers makes his first appearance at #14.
Current Vancouver Defenseman,Tyler Myers shot up from Mathieu Perreault also breaches the top twenty, moving from #38 to #20.
The other new entries are Ben Chiarot (#38), Andrew Copp (#39), Adam Lowry (#41) and Dmitry Kulikov (#50).
We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.
23. Ilya Kovalchuk
The Atlanta Thrashers were not in existence for long, but if there were a consensus best player during that time, it would have to be Ilya Kovalchuk. The Russian Wing was a Thrasher from 2001 to 2010, until he was traded to the New Jersey Devils, where he had an underappreciated run.
The Top 50 Winnipeg Jets of All-Time are now up
We here at Notinhalloffame.com are in the process of putting together the top 50 players for the main North American Franchises, which comprises of the NHL, NFL, MLB and the NBA.
As such, here is another one that we are proud to display as our Top 50 Winnipeg Jets of All Time are now up.
Before we get to the Top 50, what needs to be noted about this particular franchise list is that this list ONLY reflects the current incarnation whose history begins with the Atlanta Thrashers. This is because the Arizona Coyotes still owns the history of the original Winnipeg Jets and when we do that organization, we will be looking at the Winnipeg/Phoenix/Arizona team history.
Basically, we are telling you that if you are looking for Teemu Selanne, Bobby Hull or Dale Hawerchuk, you won’t find them here.
The Complete List can be found here and we encourage you all to take a look at this list.
In a few weeks we will continue our work on this project with a return to the gridiron and the All-Time Indianapolis Colts.
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.
3. Ilya Kovalchuk
