Wheeler's New Deal in Central Division Context
September 7th, 2018 NHL teams expect a lot out of the player who dons their "C." Captains are not only expected to produce on the ice, but are also expected to help their teammates achieve their potential, make sure the team is tight-knit off the ice, mentor young players and teach them how to...

5 Jets 1.0 Draft Misses & Who They Didn't Pick
August 15th, 2018 It happens to every NHL team. A player they draft doesn't work out, while other players who were available and selected soon after go on to have long, illustrious careers. The Bruins took Gord Kluzak first overall in 1982 over future Hall-of-Famers Scott Stevens and Phil...

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...

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...

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...
