Is the Jets Contending Window Shut?

Is the Jets Contending Window Shut?

July 29th, 2019 It's been a turbulent summer for the Winnipeg Jets, right at a moment where they've needed a good one perhaps more than ever. After a confidence-eroding second half and early playoff exit, the offseason has done nothing to boost the mood around their chances for the coming season. Gone is Jacob Trouba, whose production, physical...
Jets Prospect Pool Suddenly Deep on Defense

Jets Prospect Pool Suddenly Deep on Defense

June 28th, 2019 The Winnipeg Jets learned the hard way in 2018-19 that defense can make or break an NHL team. Luckily, they seem to be on track to turn it back into a strength. Between injuries to Josh Morrissey and Dustin Byfuglien, and some perplexing personnel decisions, the Jets defensive depth was exposed in both the regular season and the...
Jets Can't Win a Nikolaj Ehlers Trade

Jets Can't Win a Nikolaj Ehlers Trade

June 19th, 2019 In hindsight, the Winnipeg Jets lucked out when they selected Nikolaj Ehlers ninth overall in the 2014 NHL draft. Only five players from his draft have outscored him, with all of them doing so in more games played. Ehlers is an ultra-skilled, speedy, crafty, scoring winger. He is 23-years-old and is coming off his third consecutive...
Trading Trouba to Flyers Makes Most Sense

Trading Trouba to Flyers Makes Most Sense

June 14th, 2019 It's becoming increasingly clear that Jacob Trouba's days with the Winnipeg Jets are numbered. While it will be a shame to see his time with the team end, it would be worse by far for the Jets to net a poor return. Finding a willing trading partner for Trouba will be easy enough. He's a young, smooth-skating, puck-moving defenseman...
Winnipeg Jets Should Let Tyler Myers Walk

Winnipeg Jets Should Let Tyler Myers Walk

May 14th, 2019 Since coming to the Winnipeg Jets late in 2015, Tyler Myers has endured his share of ups and downs. From his best offensive seasons since he was a rookie, to heartbreaking family health problems and injury troubles, he's been through the good, the bad, and everything in between in Winnipeg. While the Jets and their fans should have...
3 Fixes for the Winnipeg Jets

3 Fixes for the Winnipeg Jets

May 6th, 2019 While there are many teams for whom a tight first-round playoff series would be considered a step forward, for the Winnipeg Jets, their early ouster in the postseason can only be viewed as a failure. A team once hyped up by The Hockey News as the 2019 Stanley Cup winner, and who seemed to be living up to that hype after an excellent...
Hayes Gives Jets Deadly Second Line Again

Hayes Gives Jets Deadly Second Line Again

March 11th, 2019 In the midst of the Winnipeg Jets' lower points during the months of February, before they acquired Kevin Hayes they were far too often a one-line team. With Patrik Laine slumping, it fell to Blake Wheeler, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor to shoulder the whole offensive load. Now, however, Hayes coming to the team via trade in the...
Jets' Top Trio Elevates Patrik Laine

Jets' Top Trio Elevates Patrik Laine

March 1st, 2019 The Winnipeg Jets desperately needed to kick-start Patrik Laine after the biggest slump of his young career. The magic formula to break that slump turned out to be what many Jets fans had been clamoring for all season: a change in linemates. It wasn't exactly the change everyone wanted, but it was apparently the right one. Say whatever...
