20. Zach Bogosian

The third overall draft pick from 2008, Zack Bogosian would suit up for the Thrashers on opening night shortly after his 18th birthday.  The American Defenseman has been regarded for his physical style of play who was usually amongst the leaders in hits for his team.

18. Evander Kane

A former fourth overall draft pick, Evander Kane scored 222 Points over his Thrashers/Jets career though it did have a bit of controversy off of the ice, which bled into issues with his teammates.  Still, Kane’s offensive output does denote a high place on this list.

16. Andrew Ladd

Traded after he won a Stanley Cup for the Chicago Blackhawks (he also won one with the Carolina Hurricanes), Andrew Ladd would become one of the major offensive weapons for the Thrashers/Jets and was quickly named the team Captain.  Ladd would score 20 Goals four times and would probably have had a fifth had he not been traded back to Chicago during the 2015/16 season.

13. Marian Hossa

Marian Hossa was an All-Star twice in his two and three-quarter seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers.  While his stint in the Peach State was brief, the Slovakian forward made the most of it with a 1.12 Points per Game Average, which would be the highest mark of his career.  Hossa would finish 10th in Hart Trophy balloting in the 2006-07 season and narrowly missed out on a Second Team All-Star nod.  He would later win three Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks.
