The Winnipeg Jets have signed goaltender Laurent Brossoit to a one year deal worth $1,225,000. The deal essentially takes care of the team’s goaltending situation going into the 2019-20 season with Connor Hellebuyck as the incumbent starter and Brossoit having proven himself to be a strong backup option.
When their season ended prematurely, it’s likely the last thing many of the Winnipeg Jets wanted to do was watch or even think of hockey for the next handful of weeks – the lack of any Jets going to the World Championships would be a great indication of that. But hopefully some members of the…
A lot has been made and speculated of Jacob Trouba’s seemingly inevitable exit from Winnipeg. How badly does he want out of Winnipeg? Does he want to play in a Canadian market at all, or does he have his sights firmly placed towards America? What if the Jets hang on to him for one more…
Being a general manager is no easy task. While the Jets were eliminated several weeks ago, the work never stops for Kevin Cheveldayoff. In reality, the real work begins as soon as the team is eliminated as contracts will need to get signed and pieces will have to get shuffled around. Most fans seem to…

In case you had any misconceptions that the talk of the Jets trading Jacob Trouba had very little merit, TSN’s Frank Seravalli’s first edition of his 2019 spring “trade bait” board is just more proof that there is at least a little bit of fire to go with all the smoke we’ve been seeing as…
Looking back on our End of Season survey, a large portion of you found it pertinent to get back into the first round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. For those of you who don’t want to trade back into the first round, I urge you to take a look at the top 20 or…
There’s no denying it, Josh Morrissey is blossoming into a star defensmen right before our eyes. His game continued to improve during his third season as he posted multiple career high numbers despite playing the fewest games of his career. While it was a strong season overall for Morrissey, his injury near the end of…
The Winnipeg Jets as an organization have a crowded crease. We obviously have Hellebuyck as the unquestioned number one goalie in Winnipeg. Laurent Brossoit has established himself as a strong number two for next season, but his restreicted free agent status does make things a bit murky. With Eric Comrie (also an RFA) turning 24…
Day one of the two day NHL draft is set for June 21, but unless something changes the Jets draft action won’t start until the second day and it will be very light action to say the least. Winnipeg is set to just have one selection available – the 51st in round two – within…
