The #NHLJets currently have the seventh best odds at the #1 pick and are just three points behind Vancouver for the best odds. Should the Jets be in a race to the bottom?

Kieron Walton has 37 points in 23 games in the OHL, has great size, and Team Canada just lost a center. Does he have a shot to make the World Junior team? 🇨🇦🤔

Scott Arniel says the Jets have been considering breaking up the top-line to “spread the wealth a little bit.” Should they do it?

The Moose just beat Chicago 5-0, have won eight of their last ten, and are FLYING. Gotta think there’s someone who deserves a call up, right?

The Winnipeg Jets are ranked dead last in the NHL in total skating distance AND speed bursts over 20 MPH this season.

If Neal Pionk is out for any period of time, could we see Elias Salomonsson finally make his Jets debut? 👀
November 24, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Morgan Barron is absolutely on fire to open the season. Five points in his first four games and he’s probably been the Jets best forward outside of the top-line.

Breakout player of the season?

Jets look a step ahead of the Flyers early. Absolutely swarming them on the forecheck.

Already opened the scoring through Namestnikov but ya gotta feel like there’s another coming before the period. #nhljets

Out of all the crowd chants in the history of sports, the Dallas Stars have to be the favourite for the worst.

"I haven’t heard a guy go to Winnipeg and be like, 'This is going to be my forever home.'”

Remember that?

I spoke to a dozen #NHLJets, giving them anonymity to speak their mind.

This Jets-only players' poll shows their love and passion for Winnipeg:

Single game #NHLJets playoff tickets go on sale this Friday. Team expects less than 1,000 per game to be available to general public. Existing season ticket holders and new sign-ups for next year will have already grabbed the rest.

With Jack Hughes being out for the year, I have to wonder if New Jersey starts to sell their rentals.

Wonder if Jonathan Kovacevic could find his way back in Winnipeg…. 👀 #NHLJets

Hard to imagine more of a dream addition for the Jets than him… #nhljets

SN hockey show speculating Pietrangelo is the chosen one from VGK who’s about to time a surgery to be this years LTIR guy just before the TD. He’ll of course time it so he’s out long enough to miss the regular season but be ready for the first game of the playoffs 🤔
January 27, 2025 at 5:50 PM
Um… that’s an interesting call.
It would appear Haydn Fleury and Logan Stanley (playing his off-side) will be the #NHLJets third D pair tonight.

Colin Miller and Ville Heinola are still on the ice here in Denver doing extra work along with Dominic Toninato and Eric Comrie.
#NHLJets line rushes with no Adam Lowry. Looks like Mason Appleton returns.

Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Ehlers-Namestnikov-Vilardi
Niederreiter-Kupari-Perfetti
Barron-Gustafsson-Appleton
Toninato

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Heinola-Miller
Fleury-Stanley

Hellebuyck

The Athletic started publishing their market value and surplus value player cards. Here’s the 18 #NHLJets skaters they have published. Market value is $100M and surplus value is more than $30M. They don’t do this for goalies but would have to think Helle’s MV would be $12-$13M and SV would be $4-5M

For a team that’s done so many things right this year, it is beyond frustrating that this is still going on. #NHLJets
I asked #NHLJets Scott Arniel about decision to take Heinola out after strong game w Coghlan.

His answer was puzzling/telling: Said he wants lefty-righty tomorrow vs LA.

They had it with Heinola-Coghlan. Shows taking Stanley out never considered. He's thinking Stanley-Heinola.

#NHLJets practice underway here at Canada Life Centre.

Josh Morrissey is a full participant.

So is Dylan Samberg.

Haydn Fleury skating in a non-contact. No Colin Miller (who skated solo yesterday) or Mason Appleton (who hasn’t returned to ice yet)
January 9, 2025 at 5:04 PM
He’s back!
Good morning from #NHLJets morning skate, where it appears Dylan Samberg will participate in a regular jersey (after being in non-contact).

#NHLJets metrics last 10 games plus full season. Pretty dominant performance. MIN was a tired team and that’s textbook how to smother all hope. Team is more fun to watch with a 3rd pair that can actually do something creative in the o zone. Helle continues his march to a historic season GSAx = 2.43
December 22, 2024 at 3:06 PM
If he played anywhere other than Winnipeg, there’d be like five people in the world MAX who don’t think Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world.

Some extremely interesting tidbits in here.

Stanley-Heinola is gonna be extremely interesting.
#NHLJets line rushes. Lambert in the centre slot. Not clear on the final D pairing:

Connor-Namestnikov-Scheifele
Perfetti-Lambert-Vilardi
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Iafallo
Gustafsson

Morrissey-DeMelo
Fleury-Pionk
Stanley-Heinola
Coghlan-Miller

Dropping Heinola is absolutely crazy to me. He’s been super solid over these two games.

Frustrating to say the least.
#NHLJets line rushes here in Vegas:

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Fleury-Pionk
Stanley-Coghlan

Comrie
Hellebuyck

Looks like Heinola, Miller are out. As is Gustafsson.
