Avalanche Keep the Roster Carousel Spinning
October 20th, 2018 The Colorado Avalanche continue to spin the wheel of the roster carousel, tinkering with their bottom forward line combinations in hopes of striking gold. Everyone knows that Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen are heading the Avalanche scoring train. But the Avs entered the season in search of secondary scoring, solid...
Avalanche - Book'Em Dano
October 16th, 2018 The Colorado Avalanche picked up Marko Dano off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets on Monday morning, fulfilling several bad Hawaii 5-0 puns. The acquisition presents some interesting questions for the Avalanche organization, especially when considering Dano’s...
Jets Roll the Dice and Waive Dano
October 16th, 2018 The Winnipeg Jets' bottom-six situation — and which players they hold in higher regard — have suddenly become a lot clearer after a roll of the dice. On Sunday, after the return of forward Nic Petan, who took a personal leave of absence in September after the sudden death of his father Franc, the Jets took a...
Dano's Chance at Making Jets' Roster Is Now
September 5th, 2018 If there's any Winnipeg Jets player in desperate need of a reset button, it's Marko Dano. The 23-year-old Austrian found himself so far on the outside last year that he needed a telescope just to see the team. An important piece of the Andrew Ladd trade, Dano's tenure with the Jets has been disappointing so far. However, with several...
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 it turned out. Cheveldayoff chose to re-up his big defenseman and...
Marko Dano: Odd Man Out
December 29th, 2017 The 2013 NHL Entry Draft saw several current superstars make their first appearance on stage in their new threads including Nathan MacKinnon, Aleksander Barkov and Sean Monahan.

Losses Put Focus on Jets Lineup Decisions
December 11th, 2017 For a few glorious weeks there, it seemed as if the Winnipeg Jets could do no wrong. Then they went on a quick road trip. It would be wrong to say that it all came unraveled during that road trip. Sure, they only took one of a possible six points from Tampa Bay, Florida and Detroit, but it's only three games. Hardly the end of the...
Jets Struggling With Secondary Scoring
October 26th, 2017 Entering this season, the primary concern for the Winnipeg Jets was discipline, which has been their kryptonite year after year. It seemed whenever things were going right for the Jets, undisciplined plays would be their undoing and cost them valuable points. Now, almost a month into the season, the Jets find themselves in a very...
Jets Court Controversy After First Cuts
September 26th, 2017 The always-debated roster trimming season is upon the NHL and the Jets took part in the action on Sunday, September 24 as well. Winnipeg reduced its roster down to 28 skaters and three goaltenders ahead of their game against the Calgary Flames on Monday night. The roster of remaining players is as...
Winnipeg Jets' 3 Fringe Forwards
September 25th, 2017 The Winnipeg Jets are accumulating depth up front better than ever before.

Jets' Talented Youth Pushing The Pace
November 18th, 2016 The Winnipeg Jets have no shortage of young, talented players in their system — most notably on the offensive side — and that fact has never been more clear than it is right now. The organization, led by general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, has done a remarkable job of stockpiling picks and prospects over the years since its...
Winnipeg Jets Soaring High on Young Talent
August 15th, 2016 The Winnipeg Jets have an astonishing amount of young talent within their system, so much so that it was difficult cutting this list to just five players when I could have easily raved about another four or five within the organization. For this reason, I will evaluate five players who I believe have the best chances of making the...
