Top 4 talent for sure, but only playing 231 games for the team is a knock. Jordan Martinook played more games with the franchise. Depends how you want to look at it

He only played 3 1/2 seasons with them. While he was phenomenal there guys like Doan (whole career), Numminen (15 seasons), Tkachuk (9 1/2 seasons), and Hawerchuk (9 seasons) all played half of their careers or more there and are generally remembered as part of Winnipeg/Arizona. I doubt most people associate Selanne with the Jets, most remember him as a Duck.

I'm more surprised at Teppo only having 25%.

Longevity should only be a small part of the equation.

Selanne was an absolute beast, his early seasons are legendary and are firmly entrenched in any nostalgia I have for Jets 1.0.

He's gotta be there.

I'd say the opposite. Longevity should be a pretty big part of the equation, especially when talking about a team's "Mount Rushmore". To be there, you should be a club icon/legend. As amazing as Teemu's rookie season was, many players have done more for Winnipeg/Arizona than him.
