Vyacheslav Kozlov played the first half of his career with the Detroit Red Wings where he was part of the diverse team that won the 1997 and 1998 Stanley Cup.  After a year in Buffalo, he was traded to Atlanta where he played the last seven of his NHL seasons.

Marc Savard was with the Atlanta Thrashers for the middle part of his career where he enjoyed some of his greatest individual success.

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.

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.

The Atlanta Thrashers traded for Blake Wheeler in 2011 and the gifted playmaker has been rewarding the franchise with that decision ever since.

Czech Goaltender, Ondrej Pavelec played all but his last NHL season with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets.

Bryan Little has carved out a nice career in the National Hockey League since he debuted in 2007-08 after being taken in the First Round by the Atlanta Thrashers in the prior year.

From Sweden, Tobias "Toby" Enstrom was a late-round pick in 2003, but stayed in Sweden until 2007.  Enstrom made the team immediately and exceeded expectations as an All-Rookie with a sixth-place finish for the Calder.

Already a Stanley Cup Champion (with Chicago) when Dustin Byfuglien was traded to the Thrashers in what would be their last year in Atlanta, he was moved back to his natural blueline position and essentially became a more valuable hockey player.

Ilya Kovalchuk plied his trade with the Atlanta Thrashers for seven and a half years and while the Russian forward played for a team that wasn’t exactly exceptional, he was a star for the franchise.
