Player Discussion: What would your all time Jets team look like?

This should be interesting. You’ll get flack for leaving Ehlers out and putting Connor’s on top line over Hull who in his prime was a million times better. Some ppl also will think Laine should be on the top line. Truthfully don’t know enough about historical Jets to do any better. Also you’d think you would get the hotline together because of chemistry. Because of chemistry I’d keep ESL together the Hotline together and take our Connor.

It’s interesting Trouba makes the list but not Morrissey. Neither one of them are in the same league as prime Enstrom or Buff. Not sure where Babysch, Housley or any of the olds stand. People also forget Mcinnis who was probably better than Trouba.
All time eh? I'll go with NHL Jets and with my handy time machine at their best in Winnipeg.
Connor (2020) - Hawerchuk (1985) - MacLean (1985) (little bit of everything)
Ehlers (2020) - Scheifele (2018) - Selanne (1993) (speed and shooting)
Laine (2020) - Tkachuk (1997) - Wheeler (2018) (big boys line)
Kane (2012) - Steen (1989) - Zhamnov (1993) (another little bit of everything line)
Boschman (1985), Smail (1985) (a nice PB pair)
Morrissey (2018) - Buff (2015)
Babych (1983) - Trouba (2018)
Housley (1993) - Numminen (1996)
Carlyle (1985) (he would sub in for Housley here and there)
Hellebuyck (2020)
Essensa (1992)
Connor (2020) - Hawerchuk (1985) - MacLean (1985) (little bit of everything)
Ehlers (2020) - Scheifele (2018) - Selanne (1993) (speed and shooting)
Laine (2020) - Tkachuk (1997) - Wheeler (2018) (big boys line)
Kane (2012) - Steen (1989) - Zhamnov (1993) (another little bit of everything line)
Boschman (1985), Smail (1985) (a nice PB pair)
Morrissey (2018) - Buff (2015)
Babych (1983) - Trouba (2018)
Housley (1993) - Numminen (1996)

2018 Trouba was a monster on the backend that's why he is on my list. Though you could make an argument that 2019 Trouba was better. Just putting up points doesn't make you a good defencemen. You need guys that can actually defend too. But it is tough for people who grew up watching the 90's Jets, like me, until they left to actively quantify what made Jets defencemen good back in the 80's. Someone like Dave Ellett was a damn good dman for the Jets on paper, but I'm not just going to take someones word for it that he was a better defender then some of Trouba's best years. Let's not forget that Trouba, Buff and Morrissey were a very large reason why the Jets were able to get to the WCF for the first time ever. And it's true there was no Gretzky Oilers in their way but the point stands that they were a part of what was considered one of the best d-core's in the league at the time.

We lost to a brand new team and Morrissey was good, Buff upped his horrible play from the regular season and Trouba was mediocre and got carried.

I do like the Carlyle Buflygian pairing.
Could see them as the odd couple in many ways.

Crazy that a terrible team went 51-24-7 in the regular season beating every single other team in the league at least once during that time, while it's goalie finished top 5 in Vezina voting. And managed to take down LA, SJ and us on it's way to a Cup final and then that same terrible team proceeds to make the playoffs the next season and then that terrible team is leading it's division up to this point this season.
Seems like you are just trying to comfort yourself, Vegas was good, and they are still good. It's time to get over that fact.
What does that have to do with how good Trouba was? I understand not liking the player but he was good.

Who is Eagles? Surprised Domi beat out Armia, Laine, Ehlers.
One thing about this is Helly and Habby were our best goalies . I wish we would have gotten more time with Habby as a Winnipeg Jet . I would also have Laine and Ehlers on the first line with Hawerchuk , Hawerchuk playing with talent like that would be insane to watch . Maclean was ok but Hawerchuk made him and Mullen first line players .
