Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler is likely not long for Manitoba. After a less-than-ideal 2022-23 season, and a public spat with head coach Rick Bowness, the former Jets captain is probably playing elsewhere next season. In a way, Wheeler is a fascinating player to analyze as it pertains to a potential trade. He has a […]
