Jets Wise to Sign Morrissey Long Term
August 4th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets have checked most of the boxes on their offseason to-do list in regards to restricted free agents. They've agreed to a long-term contract with Vezina-nominated goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, locked up terrific team-first forward Adam Lowry for the next...
Jets Lucky to Have Team Player Like Lowry
July 25th, 2018 Adam Lowry's valuable traits — his truculence, grit, tenacity, ability to make life miserable for his opponents by throwing his 6-foot-5 frame around, and his adeptness in the dot — are obvious to anyone who has watched the ferocious forward in his four seasons and 281...
Jets Nailing Every Contract, Except Trouba
July 25th, 2018 Jacob Trouba is a top-tier defenseman in the NHL. The evidence to support this has been piling up for years. Now the time has come to pay him like one and, for once, the Winnipeg Jets are getting it wrong on a contract. It's not very often those words are true of Jets...
Ladd Trade Was, Is & Will Be Good for Jets
June 4th, 2018 Entering the 2015-16 NHL season, Winnipeg Jets' general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff had two pending unrestricted free-agents with their hands out for long-term contracts — Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien — and money in his pocket to please only one. We all know how...
Paul Stastny: Deadline Deal of the Decade
May 14th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets had high hopes when they acquired Paul Stastny at the 2018 trade deadline. It's doubtful even they imagined him hitting these heights, however. With 15 points in 13 playoff games and a two-goal performance in the Game 7 victory over Nashville, Stastny...
Winnipeg Jets Are Trade Deadline Winners
February 27th, 2018 If any team has coined the phrase patience it is the Winnipeg Jets, however, patience is sometimes a form of action. Over the last five NHL Trade Deadlines, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has been calm, cool and collected. In fact, that is about as much of a...
Bryan Little Worth Every Penny Of Extension
September 18th, 2017 Bryan Little could have earned a lucrative contract anywhere in the NHL upon conclusion of his deal with the Jets. He could have signed a massive contract to carry him right through to retirement. Instead, Little committed to the only franchise he's ever known ahead of...
Hendricks Signing Reveals Deep Mistrust in Jets Fanbase
August 30th, 2017 The Winnipeg Jets' signing of veteran tough guy Matt Hendricks to a cheap, one-year deal should not have been big news. Hendricks is a late offseason veteran addition, the kind most teams make this time of year, and should not have inspired any vitriol in Jets fans. Yet...
Jets Plug Holes in Free Agency
July 3rd, 2017 The Winnipeg Jets, in past years, have at most dipped a toe in the muddy waters of free agency. This year they hiked up their bathing suits, held their breath and dove in. Never before have the Jets handed out so much money to free agents as they did on this July 1. The...
Deal Benefits Both Trouba & Jets
November 9th, 2016 A trend has recently been growing amongst the 90's-born players in the NHL, where contract disputes result in holdouts, to become plastered headlines on front pages featuring the game's current young stars — Jacob Trouba is no stranger to this trend. The young...
Replacing Jacob Trouba

The Tyler Myers Trade: One Year Later And The Winner Is...
February 12th, 2016 Man, it's hard to believe it's already been a year. It's been 365 days since Tyler Myers and Evander Kane swapped teams along with Drew Stafford and Zach Bogosian and a smattering of prospects, and a year on you could argue there has been no winner of the exchange....
Time for the Winnipeg Jets to Swim in the Trading Pool
January 5th, 2016 Apparently it was all the rage this week for young players to request trades from the teams that drafted them, and if the Winnipeg Jets play their cards right they stand to benefit in a big way. Not a day after it emerged that Jonathan Drouin had requested a trade out...
