Jets Should Remove Jack Roslovic's Training Wheels
November 20th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets are well familiar with the problem they're having with Jack Roslovic right now. He's a young offensive stud that deserves top-six minutes, but they have only so many top-six minutes to go around. The Jets have been here before and will be again. When you're as loaded up front as the Jets are, some good young...
Jets Should Have Brought Niku to Finland
November 1st, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets have multiple Finnish players in their organization, including Sami Niku, but many of them are still in North America as the Jets prepare for their overseas games. On and off the ice, this is a mistake. The Jets haven't met expectations so far this season and that has a lot to do with the way the defense...

Ehlers is one of the most skilled...
Byfuglien Injury Exposes Jets' Defensive Depth
October 17th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets' defense looks both mobile and intimidating when Dustin Byfuglien is in the lineup. Recently, the Jets have learned how their blue line looks without him, and it's not a pretty picture. No defense should live and die by a single player, especially one who arguably isn't part of their top pairing. Yet the...
Jets Must Find Patrik Laine's Centre
October 10th, 2018 You would think it wouldn't be hard to find chemistry with a player like Patrik Laine. Get him the puck in shooting position and just wait to celebrate. It should be easy. As the Pittsburgh Penguins demonstrated for years, however, finding a running mate for a star player isn't about just sticking him with the best...
