Greg de Vries was an undrafted blueliner who would win the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche.  He would later play two full seasons in Atlanta and gave the team solid defensive play along with his best offensive output with a 35 Point season in the 2005/06 campaign with 59 overall as a Thrasher.

Donald Audette’s stay with the Atlanta Thrashers was a brief one as he played less than 100 games for the team.  Still, this is a player who average over a point per game in Atlanta and was the franchise’s All Star representative in 2001.  That season saw him record his highest goal output (34) although he was traded late that year to Buffalo.

Andrew Brunette really developed his playmaking skills at the professional level in his two years in Atlanta.  Brunette’s first 20 Goal season was in Atlanta as was his first 50 Point campaign of which he would have two for the Thrashers, which incidentally was the amount of years he played for the team.

Playing for the Atlanta Thrashers for six seasons, Garnet Exelby was a stay-at-home defenseman who exceeded expectations as an eighth round pick.  Exelby wasn’t much of a scorer but did provide 10 Defensive Point Shares over his Thrasher career.

While Todd White was only an Atlanta Thrasher for three years of his career, it was his second season there where he would by far have his greatest offensive output.  In the 2008-09 season, the undrafted Center would tabulate 73 Points, 51 of them assists.  He would also receive votes for the Frank J. Selke and Lady Byng Trophy while playing in Atlanta.  He would accumulate 136 Points as a Thrasher.

It is true that Patrik Stefan is in the conversation for the worst number one pick in NHL history, with the relatively weak history of the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets, he still can make it on a list such as this.

An Atlanta Thrasher for nearly three seasons, Rich Peverley averaged nearly .70 Points per game while playing for the organization.  Peverley’s best full statistical season in the National Hockey League was in Atlanta where he had 55 Points and his lone 20 Goal season.  He would overall have 127 Points with Atlanta.

Ron Hainsey played five seasons with the Thrashers/Jets and the American born blueliner would have his best pro seasons for that organization.  Hainsey would score 39 Points in the 2008/09 season, which was his best offensive output of his career.

It was late in his career when he arrived in Atlanta, but Ray Ferraro, “The Big Ball of Hate” still had plenty left in the tank.  In the 2000-01 season at the age of 36, Ferraro had 76 Points, which was one of four seasons in which he had over 75 Points in a campaign.  Ferraro scored 147 of his 898 career Points as a Thrasher.

Claimed in the expansion draft, Yannick Tremblay was an Atlanta Thrasher for five seasons and easily was at his best in the NHL while playing in the state of Georgia.  Tremblay would hit 30 points twice for Atlanta and 107 of his 125 career Points as a Thrasher.

A member of the Swedish 2006 Olympic Gold Medal team, Defenceman, Niclas Havelid was known for his shot-blocking and dedication to the blueline.  Havelid played half of his NHL games with the Atlanta Thrashers (2005-09) and had 28 Assists in the 2005/06 season, which would be the best of his career.

One of the longest tenured players in Thrasher/Jets history with nearly 600 Games Played, Jim Slater was a checking line fixture for years for the organization.  Slater was not much of a scorer, but a locker room “glue guy” who would spend all of his ten NHL campaigns with Atlanta/Winnipeg.  Slater accumulated 138 Points over his career.

Taken Second Overall in the 2002 Draft, Finland's Kari Lehtonen's first five NHL seasons were with the Atlanta Thrashers where he had an overall winning record 94-83-17, an impressive feat considering that the Thrashers were basement dwellers.  His best year in Atlanta was in 2006-07 where he was sixth in Goalie Point Shares (14.2).

Chris Thorburn played 801 NHL Games, 709 of which with Atlanta/Winnipeg (2007-17).

Statistically, Dany Heatley should merit a higher ranking, but in 2003 he crashed his car, which killed his friend and teammate, Dan Snyder, causing him to miss nearly a full season.  Heatley would request a trade from Atlanta to put the past behind him, thus alienating the fan base that stood by him who supported him through the tragedy.  

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.

A nine-year NHL veteran, Czech Defenseman, Frantisek Kaberle played five of them with the Atlanta Thrashers.

While Andy Sutton was always known for his defensive skills (he was a Defenceman after all), it was in Atlanta where he put his best numbers offensively with three straight seasons with 20 Points, while even exceeding his defensive metrics.  He scored 87 Points as a Thrasher.

A member of the Toronto Maple Leafs for most of his career, Nik Antropov spent his last four NHL seasons with the Thrashers/Jets.

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.
