In the antepenultimate thread in this series, we come to the only franchise in the league to have never won a playoff game. While that might suggest a general lack of talent in the team's history, but that's really not the case. They might not have had all the pieces there at one time, but the Thrashers/Jets have had their share of skilled players.

 

First Line: Ilya Kovalchuk, Marc Savard, Marian Hossa
Second Line: Dany Heatley, Ray Ferraro, Blake Wheeler
Third Line: Andrew Ladd, Todd White, Bryan Little
Fourth Line: Slava Kozlov, Nik Antropov, Donald Audette
 
First Defensive Pair: Dustin Byfuglien, Tobias Enstrom
Second Defensive Pair: Zach Bogosian, Ran Hainsey
Third Defensive Pair: Jacob Trouba, Greg de Vries
 
Goaltenders: Kari Lehtonen, Ondrej Pavalec, Pasi Nurminen
 
Head Coach: Bob Hartley
 
Top to bottom, I'd say the left wing is this team's strongest position, while goaltending is the weakest. Outside of the net, though, there's not a position that I would consider painfully weak (though center isn't anything to write home about). The coaching position came down to Hartley and Paul Maurice, but even though Maurice's sinning percentage is a little higher, I chose Hartley because of the timing of when he coached the team and the work that he put into building it.

What about Jets 1.0? I know you're doing franchises, so it's ATL/WPG, but the phrase "all-time Jets" may rub Jets fans the wrong way... I'm not one of them, but a guy like Hawerchuk gets lost in the shuffle under your system, no?

The original Jets were included in the Arizona Coyotes team. He was the top line center there. http://www.hockeyforums.net/index.php/topic/65977-all-time-arizona-coyotes-team/

 

I really couldn't think of a better way to handle it to make sure everything was covered. I'm even thinking about going back and doing some defunct teams for that reason.

Oh, ok. Ignore me then.
