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.

Last year, New Jersey turned the corner and made the playoffs for the first time in years.  This resulted in two new entrants, and other minor fluctuation on the top 50.

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

Center, Nico Hischier, jetted up to #31 from #50.

Left Wing, Jesper Bratt, makes his first appearance at #38.

American Center, Jack Hughes, is the second debut, entering at #39.

Defenseman, Damon Severson, went up two spots to #34.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Jesper Brett was a steal for the New Jersey Devils, who only had to use a Sixth Round pick in 2016 to grab the Swedish Wing.  He signed with New Jersey a year later and was expected to join the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, but was so impressive in Devils training camp that he made the roster and shockingly was an NHL player as a teenager despite being drafted so low.

Bratt scored a respectable 35 Points as a rookie, but his progression stalled in the three seasons after as his production stayed at the same level over the next three seasons.  He broke out in 2021/22 with a 73-Point campaign, which he duplicated the year after, albeit with a higher Goal tally (32).  Last season, he broke the 80-Point mark for the first time, was New Jersey's leading scorer, and went to his first All-Star Game.

Bratt is a future Point-per-Game player and All-Star and could be a top ten all-time Devil.
