Who should the Jets induct next into the Hall of Fame?

[Deleted]

I chose Hawerchuk. Nine seasons as a Jets, franchise player, multiple All-Star, Hart Trophy finalist, and key contributor to the 87 Canada Cup.

...and how can the Jets not induct a player who has a hit song by a Quebec band named after him?

[newjets]

Ducky of course.

The greatest NHL Jets player of all time.

I agree, but what if Selanne wasn't traded and the Jets didn't move?

Good question. And a very big "what if".

I suppose Teemu most likely would have surpassed Dale. Would have put up similar numbers he put up for the Ducks, etc or even better had he stayed here with the likes of Tkachuk and Zhamnov.

And if Mike Smith didn't become GM. Dale might have retired as a Jet!

Mike Smith. Lol.

And with all due respect to Zhamnov - who was a great player - no one else should have worn #10 after Dale left.

True North at least has that right.

Hawerchuk followed by Selanne.

Hawerchuk followed by STEEN, then maybe Luckowich and then maybe Ellet.
See what I'm doing here?
We all LOVE Selanne, but he wasn't here long enough to go into the hall. UNLESS he goes in strictly for his rookie season.
So I say no to Teemu.

Selanne was here from 1992-96. Two of the HOF inductees Hedberg and Nilsson played from 1974-78, nearly the exact amount of time as Teemu.

Hedberg and Nilsson were both winning championships though. That's a pretty big difference.

All great choices as Jets with significant historical meaning, but not necessarily Hall of Fame material. Here's my take.

Ab Mcdonald

No. Besides being the first Captain of the Jets he only had 2 seasons, 29 goals and 70 points.

Willy Lindstrom

In the Running. 8 seasons with the Jets. 20+ goals in every season.

Norm Beaudin

No. Again, besides being the first Jet ever signed and one year getting 100 points playing beside Hull, I don't think so.

Tom McVie

Hell No. Came in with Only 19 games in the final WHA season in which they won but was fired the next season, the first in the NHL, only to come back in 80-81 to amass a mind blowing 1-20-7 record.

Tie Domi

No. Great guy. Fan favourite but only 3 seasons.

Lars-Erik Sjoberg,

No. First NHL Captain but not much else.

Barry Long

No. Coached the Jets 1.0 to their best season in history but fired the next season.

Morris Lukowich

In the running. 7 consistent seasons with 22+ goals in each.

Dave Christian

No. Not even sure why he would be on anyone's list. Only 2 full seasons as a Jet.

Lucien DeBlois

No. Decent production, but only 3 seasons.

Thomas Steen

Absolutely. Nothing else to say.

Randy Carlyle

In the running. Played parts of 10 seasons with the Jets. Injuries shortened lots of them.

Kris King

No. Last Captain but Unless we are looking for an enforcer I would go with Domi.

Ben Hatskin

Yes. One of the founders.

Dave Simkin

This ones tougher. The other founder. Unfortunately died during the first Jets season and never gets the acclimation he deserved. Probably gets in.

Michael Gobuty

In the running. Part of the second Save the Jets group that eventually negotiated their way into the NHL. Most infamously known as the guy who didn't lose the Franchise to Nelson Skalbania in a game of backgammon.

Barry Shenkarow

HELL NO. He Sold the Jets 1.0. Why would we honour that???


Realistically speaking I think the following players will get in.

Paul McLean - 7 seasons with the Jets, 3rd all time in goals and points.

Doug Smail - 11 seasons, 3rd in games played and 4th in points.

Teppo Numminen - 8 seasons as a Jet and would have been more if the team didn't move.

Ron Wilson, Dave Babych, Laurie Boschman, Dave Ellett and Fredrik Olausson are up there as well.

As for Teemu, even though he only had 4 seasons with the Jets, I believe if the team wasn't in the situation it was in at the time I think he would have been here a long time. Also was the highest producing Jet at 1.32 points per game and having only played 231 games with the Jets, he's still 10th all time in points. Blake Wheeler just passed him last season.

Teemu gets in!

Dave Simkin was the money man no money no team.
The hell no on Barry, well if he was given what Mark was given from the City, Province, Feds and had a partner like Thomson he still would own this club today, he had no choice his hands were tied and had a gun to his head, he did what any good business man would do.
