After a brief playoff podcast break, the boys are back! The Stanley Cup has been handed out (Congratulations St. Louis) and now the NHL off season begins! The Winnipeg Jets are heading into what could arguably be their most difficult and influential offseason since arriving in Winnipeg. The Jets have key players needing contracts (Jacob Trouba, Patrick Laine, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp…) and players with contracts that could be bought out (Dimitri Kulikov). The entry draft is coming up next week and free agency will open up on July 1st. What problem should the Jets tackle first? What should they do with Jacob Trouba? Find out on this week’s episode.
