Nothing against Winnipeg, but if you take away Hull and I guess you can add Nilsson and Hedberg, how many others would be considered "stars" within the NHL other than Hawerchuk? Selanne, for the brief time he was there I guess.
 
Housley's in the Hall of Fame so you have to include him ;)
Steen would be the best of the rest of the Jets. He had good numbers considering the terrible wingers he had to play with.

Maybe Tkachuk? He did have some good years in Winnipeg.

Interesting commentary on an article written by Colin Fast on why Hull should not be inducted because of his off ice behavior. Begs the question, is it a hockey HOF and/or whether it should include a citizens in good standing merit.

not a Hull fan--he was a ***** no arguing that fact--but if I am not mistaken

Hull has never been convicted of anything--plead guilty for punching a cop--this happened after his career was over

Grant Fuhr got suspended for drug use and Glenn Anderson--well --either you know or you do not know--and the guys who put these guys in the hockey hall of fame--did know what they did

Without Bobby Hull--there is no jets in the NHL

That's true, the history of the Winnipeg Jets starts with Bobby Hull.
