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 revision of our top 50 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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Dallas went to their second straight Western Conference Final, but the result was the same in a Final Four elimination.  Last year yielded one new entrant and four elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Jamie Benn

4. Marty Turco

5. Tyler Seguin

You can find the entire list here.

Regarding the top five, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, who are #3 and #5, respectively, could not move up the list, though both were close to doing so.

Defenseman Miro Heiskanen climbed to #25 from #33.

Another Defenseman, Esa Lindell, inched up two spots to #33.

Superstar forward and potential future Hart Trophy winner Jason Robertson rose to #35 from #37.

Left Wing Roope Hintz reached #37 from #42.

The now-retired Joe Pavelski hit his zenith on this list with a move from #49 to #39.

The only new entry is Goalie, Jake Oettinger.   He debuts at #50.

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

We know…this process of developing the Top 50 All-time of every major franchise is taking us some time, but we aren’t on a time limit are we?

We here now completed the top 50 for the Dallas Stars.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:

1. 1. Advanced Statistics, such as Cori and Point Shares.

2. 2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League

3. 3. Playoff accomplishment.

4. 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 2017-18 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in our news. They are:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Marty Turco

4. Derian Hatcher

So which team is up next?

We go back to the diamond and look at the top 50 Kansas City Royals of all time.

Look for that in a couple of months.

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.

This was very easy.

Not only is Mike Modano the greatest Dallas Star of all-time, he is one of the best American born players ever.
