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.

Drafted number one in the 2017 NHL Draft, Nico Hischier made history as the first player from Switzerland to be taken with the first pick by the New Jersey Devils, the team he is still playing for.

Hischier, as expected, made the opening day roster in his inaugural year in North American professional Hockey, and did well with 52 Points and a seventh-place finish for the Calder.  The next three seasons were a struggle for Hischier, who had 104 Points in 148 Games in that time frame, and though he represented the Devils in 2020 in the All-Star Game, it was a disappointing run for the Swiss Center.

It turned around for Hischier last year, as he had 60 Points, showing improvement in all facets of his game,.  In 2022-23, Hischier grew his Points tally to 80 and appears and had 67 last year showing that be is on the right path.  Hischier may not have lived up to the expectations of a number one pick, especially considering that Cale Makar was taken in the same draft, but there is still time to prove that New Jersey took a top ten franchise player.
