7. Josh Morrissey

7. Josh Morrissey

Josh Morrissey was taken in the First Round with the 13thOverall Pick in 2013 and after two years, he was a fixture on the Jets blueline.

Morrissey had 20 Points in his rookie year (2016-17), and increased that to 26 as a sophomore.  A clean player, Morrissey had back-to-back 31-Point years and in 2021/22 he elevated that ttally to 37 Points.  Morrissey would then have a breakout, exploding with 76 Points, and finished fifth in Norris Trophy voting and enjoyed his first All-Star Game.  Last season, he produced 69 Points with a healthy +34, and was fourth in Defensive Point Shares (6.3)

Two years ago, we said that if Morrissey achieved his potential that he would break the top ten.  He did, and if he continues he will become a top fhree performer on this list.
