The decision follows a review of historical data and league policies, ensuring that all on-ice achievements—including goals, assists, and playoff performances—are now attributed to the Jets' legacy. Fans and analysts have closely watched the process, as it impacts team rankings, player legacies, and historical comparisons in the league.
