Jets Nation Podcast: Cap Crunch

The Winnipeg Jets are rolling right along at the top of the NHL standings, but it’s always good to have one eye on the future… Can the Jets sustain this level of success in the next few seasons and will they be able to afford the young players who are going to need a raise next season?
In this week’s episode, we also talk about what exactly is behind the great start the Jets have had… is it the players talent and ability in spite of the coaching, or are fans underestimating the impact that Paul Maurice and the staff has had? We then close out the show by asking which fantasy hockey players are “the real deal”.
