Winnipeg Jets Next Best Shooters
July 31st, 2018 There's no debate on who the best shooter on the Winnipeg Jets is. Patrik Laine may be the best shooter in the entire NHL.

The team had seemingly no room for the ultra-skilled but undersized forward, and he was languishing in the AHL. Then, summer rolled around and the Jets cleaned house with some of their UFAs. While not all of the house-cleaning was...

And yet, they're regularly described as one of the toughest, hardest to play against teams in the NHL. The definition of toughness in hockey is changing. The Jets set a franchise low for fights this...
