Our All-Time Top 50 Winnipeg Jets have been revised to reflect the 2023-24 Season
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 Winnipeg Jets.
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.
First, as mentioned on the main Winnipeg Jets page, this takes on the lineage of the original Atlanta Thrashers, as that is the history they own, despite the acknowledgment of their previous incarnation throughout the city, team, and home arena. This is why you won’t find Dale Hawerchuk here!
Last year, the Jets had their best regular season, but they were bounced in five games in the first round. There were many changes in the Top 50, with two new entrants.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a new number one:
1. Connor Hellbucyk
2. Blake Wheeler
3. Ilya Kovalchuk
4. Mark Scheifele
5. Dustin Byfuglien
You can find the entire list here.
Hellebucyk took over the top spot at #1 off his second Vezina Trophy-winning season.
Another top five change was Mark Scheifele moving from #5 to #4.
Notably, Kyle Connor, who had a decent season, remains at #6
Defenseman Josh Morrissey went up two spots to #7.
Right behind Morrissey is Left Wing Nikolaj Ehlers, who advanced from #10 to #8.
Defenseman Neal Pionk advanced from #18 to #15.
Left Wing Adam Lowry climbed to #25 from #19.
Defenseman Dylan DeMelo went up to #32 from #36.
The first new entrant is Brenden Dillon, who appears at #35.
The second debut is Nate Schmidt, who enters at #43.

Last year, Winnipeg snuck into the playoffs, but this is such a strange list to do. The Jets technically do not own the history of the original team (although they honor that period), so we have to do his list based on this rendition which began as the Atlanta Thrashers. There was one new entry and several fluctuations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change:
You can find the entire list here.
Hellebucyk, a former Vezina Trophy winner, took over #2, and should overtake Wheeler with a good year for the top spot on the next list. Scheifele, who is still active, did not do enough to move up over Byfuglien.
Left Wing, Kyle Connor, climbed to #6 from #9.
Defenseman, Josh Morrissey, had a breakout year, and reached #9 from #16.
Danish Left Wing, Nikolaj Ehlers, moved up two spots to #10.
Defenseman, Neil Pionk, had a nice jump, advancing to #18 from #29.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
Left Wing, Adam Lowry, went to #25 from #37.
Forward, Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is now with the Los Angeles Kings, rocketed from #49 to #31.
The lone new entry was Defenseman, Dylan DeMelo, who enters the list at #36.
