Jets Options With a Morrissey Holdout
August 21st, 2018 It is T-minus 26 days to the Winnipeg Jets first preseason game and 43 days to their first regular season tilt. However, it's becoming more and more possible with each passing day the team may be entering those battles —against the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues, respectively — without one of their big guns on the blue...
Jets' Depth Offsets Free Agent Disappointments
March 19th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets thought they were addressing some major needs with free-agent signings this past offseason. Perhaps they would have been better off leaving well enough alone.

Michael Hutchinson was between the pipes for the majority of the remainder of games but appears a likely...

The forward core has been dramatically shaken up to the point where it would be almost unrecognizable to the Jets fans of that inaugural year. The defense is similarly altered, and none of the original goalies remain...
Another Winnipeg Jets Whiteout?
July 8th, 2017 Look, we all know that the Winnipeg Jets are going to be good soon. They have a deep prospect pool, an elite centerman, a world-class winger and a solid blue line. But the Jets had a disappointing 2016-17 season, missing the playoffs by seven points. With a young team a year older, boosted with a few additional players, could we possibly...
