Rumor Rundown: Leaks Everywhere in NHL Expansion Selections
June 21st, 2017 In what was supposed to be a well-kept and very big secret until the NHL Awards on Wednesday night, the cat is out of the bag.

Managers tell their players, the players tell their agents and family and friends start...
Thank You, Toby Enstrom
June 19th, 2017 In the minds of Winnipeg Jets fans, Toby Enstrom has done the team a service. While the Jets have been mum, as usual, on whether they asked Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause ahead of the expansion draft, word came from the veteran defenseman's camp yesterday that he had indeed been approached, and had agreed to put the team's...

So What's Next for Josh Morrissey?
September 7th, 2016 Josh Morrissey is in a tough spot as Winnipeg Jets training camp looms. Then again, he might not get much sympathy in that Jets locker room, as most players entering the camp will be in a tough spot.

Five Defensemen the Canadiens Should Go After
July 17th, 2016 It’s a sad state of affairs when the best-case scenario for Montreal Canadiens fans is that the team’s front office internally acknowledges its defense got worse following the P.K.

The Atlanta Thrashers Franchise Four

Entering the NHL in 1999, the Atlanta Thrashers reached the postseason one time, across eleven seasons. During said time frame, the Thrashers...

Bring It On Home, Travis Hamonic
November 20th, 2015 After five full seasons with the New York Islanders, Travis Hamonic is ready to come home. For their part, the Winnipeg Jets should be ready to receive the St. Malo native with open arms.

Should the Winnipeg Jets Make a Deal?

According to TSN's Darren Dreger, who is as close to an unimpeachable source as you can get, the Winnipeg Jets are in the hunt for a top-six forward, and are willing to...
The Winnipeg Jets Defense: Weakness or Strength?
November 3rd, 2015 For what was touted as one of the team's biggest strengths at the start of the season, the Winnipeg Jets defense corps has sure had an up-and-down October. It may seem like a knee-jerk reaction to chastise the Jets defense only one day after their first bad loss of the season but the blue line has been alternately a source of pride...
