Jets Nation Podcast: Minute Munching

The Winnipeg Jets look to be healthy again on the backend, and that means there are more high priced players looking to get on the ice.
In this week’s episode, the guys take a look at the minute distribution of the Jets defensemen. Should Dustin Byfuglien get the minutes he desires, or is Paul Maurice right to start limiting them? Should Jacob Truoba be getting the most minutes? Where do Myers and Kulikov fit in?
Also in this week’s episode, the guys also look at the top scorers on the team and just who is the team’s “top scorer”
And after seeing Evander Kane and the Buffalo Sabres the past week and inspired by the “Best Trade Ever” chants in Winnipeg, they evaluate “The Trade” almost three years later.
