Speculation: Predictions for Future Inductees of the Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame

[10Ducky10]

Teemu and Steen for sure and maybe Numminen...Probably Buff and Wheeler from the new Jets so far and Helle, Scheif KC, JMo and Ehlers standing a good chance..

Paul Henderson isn't even in the HHOF!! Frickin disgusting...Not only did he score the game winner in game 8 of the summit series, but he scored the game winner in game 7 and game 6 as well.
Henderson not being in the HHOF is equal to The Guess Who not beingin the RRHOF...total bullshit.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Maurice.

The Jets HOF is so new that it's hard to say what exactly qualifies.
I'd say Buff probably, Wheeler almost definitely, then I imagine Scheifele/Hellebuyck one day
Guess there's a possibility that Ladd/Little could make it but I don't really think they should
Ehlers/KC are tracking in the right direction.

Again I ask....what exactly has Wheeler done to deserve the honor of being inducted into the Jets HOF?

I agree you could argue against it, but I expect he'll get in based on being the leader in points/assists for the franchise, leader in games since coming to Winnipeg, captain and leading scorer for many seasons, etc.

Played in Winnipeg for a decade
Arguably Jets best player from 2011-16
Team leader/captain
Better than Steen, Carlyle, McDonald.
Is involved in the community, and contributes to numerous Winnipeg charities.

 

[Tommigun]

Wheeler 100%. A true captain, work horse and role model.

Buff won’t get the nod given how things ended.

 

[Tommigun]

There is a disturbing lack of Stempniak in this thread.

And Stuart.

 

[RestlessYoungZero]

He's only the Jets 2.0 all-time points leader....

He ain't better than Steen.

 

[Hollywood3]

Ab McDonald only played 147 games for the Winnipeg Jets, and was not even 1/10 the player Selanne was.

He was the first captain.

 

[Hollywood3]

Nobody mentioned the holy goalie: Joe Daley! Three Avco Cups.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Dancing Gabe as builder.

 

[Jedub]

I could see them putting Little in. Skilled guy who played his whole career for the franchise before a premature retirement (assumedly).

Wheeler, Scheif, Helle will be in. Ehlers/Connor depending how long they're around for. Buff should get the nod but who knows.

Little, no
Wheeler, maybe
Scheifele, Hellebuyck, Ehlers, Connor to be determined

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Ladd as the first captain.

 

[RustyCat]

Not only should Igor Ulanov get the nod but also a life-size statue outside of BellMTS Center.

2.0 Jets
If Scheifele signs another multi year contract he will be in for sure.
Wheeler is very much a possibility.
Buff I think would have been in if he had played out his contract.
Helly could be if he maintains his level of top tier talent and signs another multi year contract.

Jets 1.0
Temuu might get the nod just for the redonkulous rookie season he had
Joe Daley should get the nod since he has 3 Avco Cups and is in the WHA HOF
Lars-Erik Sjoberg should since he has 3 Avco Cups, was captain (1st non-North American captain in NHL) and is in the WHA HOF

Maurice might but it should take a Cup to do it.

I was hoping for the legendary Jim Kyte.

Not even joking. I would love to see a Thorburn Banner in the Rafters. Guy was a Legend.

I agree with all of these. Sjoberg is already in the Jets HOF.

I think Scheif is as good as in already - and so is Maurice if he can survive just one more year. Give it to him for longevity then, if nothing else. Buff has to make it.

Fully agree with your 1.0 nominees.

Ummmmm, does demolition count as building?
