For me it's Dale Hawerchuk. Have a tremendous amount of respect for Steen also. Selanne was great when he was a Jet but that was for a relatively short period of time. Bobby Hull -- great, great player, but some of his recent comments about Winnipeg have left me cold.

Hawerchuk is the greatest Jet of all time in my opinion. As far as favourite Jet is concerned, that goes to Selanne. I loved it when he was with the Jets. Warmed my heart a bit when I heard that he went a little berzerk in the dressing room after he heard he had been traded away.

Hawerchuk above all. Highest scorer in Jets history and a great leader.

For me it's a toss up between Teemu and Ducky. Both great players, but obviously Hawerchuk had longer to be a leader here and to show his longevity. Selanne showed so much passion, and love and loyalty to the city.
I've voted for Selanne on this one only because when I watched the games live I was too young to appreciate Hawerchuk, whereas I still have such vivid memories of Selanne in his rookie season.
BTW - where are Jimmy Mann and Jim Kyte in this list?! ;-)

All great choices, but it has to be Dale Hawerchuk.

Bobby Hull is a true hockey legend in every sense and single handedly gave a whole league (WHA) credibility and is probably in the top 5 players of all time, so based on that I had to go with #9. #10 would be a strong 2nd for me.

Has to be #25 no one else embodies or evokes the Jets name more Tomas Steen.

Hawerchuk.
Steen is a close second.

Hawerchuck.
He was "player of the game" in the 1987 Canada Cup Final.
He hooked a Russian player that allowed Gretzky & Lemieux to score the game winning goal.
