Speculation: One Former Jet

[Guardian17]

Hawerchuck, Selanne, Numminen, Sjoberg, Byfluglien would be my first choices.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

Can’t go wrong with Hawerchuk in his prime. But I would love to see a 32 year old Golden Jet with a modern twig… 130 mph shot lol.

Was that a modern twig or modern wig? His comb-over (before his hair transplants) was a beauty.

That's a lot of first choices!

Jets 1.0 - Hawerchuk
Jets 2.0 - Buff

100%

 

[Gabe Kupari]

1.0 Dale
2.0 Buff

Special mentions to Teppo tho and prime Keith Tkachuk

Jim Kyte???


Ducky

Most of our best former players are too old to play now. So, Laine, I guess.

I think I would take Laine, because the others are too old or dead…

Damn it, beat me to it

I have to account for the salary cap!!!

Biggest need is leadership, right? Who was the best captain or alternate captain in Jets history? Kris King?

Was he a great leader? I honestly don't know, I'm old enough to remember him playing and being being the all-time Jet, but was too young at the time to remember his leadership skills. (I don't think Troy Murray or Dean Kennedy were necessarily better captains than KK).

Joe Namath. He would guarantee a Stanley Cup victory and deliver on it!

Selanne

 

[Fatdrunk]

Jets 1.0 prime Selanne
Jets 2.0 prime Buff

 

[Truenorthducky]

Andrew Copp off coarse.

 

[sipowicz]

Jets 1.0 Jimmy Mann

Jets 2.0 Dutchman Ehlers

 

[RabidOne]

Jets 1.0 Jimmy Mann

Jets 2.0 Dutchman Ehlers

Is Jimmy Mann the worst pick of all time? Or just by the Jets?

Tough SOB though

 

[RabidOne]

Tough SOB though

Yes, yes he was, but a first round pick?
Add 6 rounds and I am there.
The next pick Michel Goulet had 1150 career points, Mann had 30. You decide which one you would rather have.

Hannu Jarvenpaa once scored 5 goals in 1 exhibition game and was the great white hope of the city for brief moment!!

Everyone not saying Ducky is wrong. In his prime he was one of the best all time.
