I mean, it’s gotta be Helle, right?
Hellebuyck
I’m gonna say KC/Kyle Connor but my options are limited since I’ve only been watching the team for like 3 or so years now.
Either KC or Helle.
Boo this charts meaningless if you’re including jets 1.0 players as mammoth players.
The mammoth are an expansion team with no connection to the coyotes or original jets other than inheriting the current coyotes players
Hellebuyck is the only answer
Don’t care he didn’t spend majority of his career with those teams, the Finnish Flash is the best Finnish player from Jets 1.0
HelleHartVezinaBucyk is the only correct choice imo
Tucker Poolman
Very clearly Hellebuyck
Bullshit list tbh
Hellebuyck. Close the polls
Byfuglien or Wheeler or Connor or Hellebuyck but for me it’s Buff
It’s a toss up between Connor and Hellebuyck for me imo. Leaning towards Hellebuyck.
Best: Hellebuyck
Most Popular: Byfuglien
Best by overall career? Chris Chelios.
Best player only counting stats from time with ATL / 2.0? Hellebuyck
Personal favourite? Byfuglien.

Duh
Hellebuyck, and it’s not even close.
The disrespect to Hannu Jarvenpaa here is truly shameful.
