The Winnipeg Jets announced that forward Mark Scheifele and goalie Connor Hellebuyck have signed identical seven-year contract extensions with the average annual value of $8.5 million. This is a surprise to much of the hockey world. The Jets were expected by many to enter a rebuild in the near future, and possibly trade both Mark […]

The Winnipeg Jets are sporting a bit of a new look this upcoming season. I’m not even talking about the new jersey they unveiled recently, either. Winnipeg underwent some roster changes over the summer. New faces are coming to play prominent roles, while old faces are headed for greener pastures. It’s hard to project just […]

The Winnipeg Jets had a good run from 2017 to 2021, being a constant threat to make the playoffs. The team had a good core with Mark Scheifele, Patrik Laine, Jacob Trouba, and Connor Hellebuyck. Laine and Trouba have since gone on to different organizations, and Scheifele and Hellebuyck may not be far behind them. […]

With less than three weeks until the start of the regular season, NHL teams are tuning up for another exciting campaign on the ice. For the Winnipeg Jets, this season brings playoff aspirations but a few questions loom regarding the futures of two of their best players. Both Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck are set […]

The fact that both Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck remain on the Winnipeg Jets after a summer of intense trade speculation is somewhat surprising — but a few longtime teammates are relieved that the two remain on the roster. “I’m pumped those guys are here,” star defenseman Josh Morrissey said on Thursday, per the Winnipeg […]

After going last season without a captain, the Winnipeg Jets have selected the next player to wear the “C” on his chest. Veteran center Adam Lowry, who’s spent his entire nine-year NHL career with the Jets, was announced as Winnipeg’s captain on Tuesday. Lowry is the third Jets captain since the franchise moved to Winnipeg […]

Veteran NHL forward Andrew Ladd has played a little over 1000 games throughout his career. He has had a rather interesting journey in the league over the last nearly two decades. Now, Ladd is hanging up his skates. The 37-year-old officially announced his retirement on Twitter on Sunday. “The time has come for my next […]

The Winnipeg Jets are very likely going to look a lot different at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season than they do now. After another disappointing postseason defeat in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and with two key players entering the final season of their respective contracts, the Jets are firmly in the upper echelon […]

The Winnipeg Jets are keeping Logan Stanley around for another year, signing the depth defenseman to a one-year, $1 million contract, the team announced on Sunday. The 25-year-old has spent his entire career in Manitoba after being selected with the No. 18 overall selection in the 2016 NHL Draft. The hulking, 6-foot-7 D-man missed 40 […]

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey completed a career season in 2022-23. His emergence helped lead the team into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they took on the Vegas Golden Knights. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old Jets defenseman suffered an injury in Game 3. Winnipeg lost the series while the Golden Knights went on to win it all. […]

It’s been a difficult decade for the Winnipeg Jets, who have had a glaring lack of playoff success since relocating from Atlanta at the beginning of the 2011-12 season. A 2018 Western Conference Final is the best result in Manitoba, which, like 2023, ended in a five-game loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Although the […]

The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a relatively unspectacular season, all things considered. They started off hot but cooled off by the second half and nearly fell out of the playoffs. Their season then ended with a thud in a five-game loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round. Heading into the offseason, […]

The Los Angeles Kings entered the summer looking to take that next step. And they had two ways to go about it. Los Angeles could spend big on either a top-line center or a top-end goaltender. In the end, general manager Rob Blake decided on the former. With the dust settling on the NHL offseason, […]

The Winnipeg Jets have locked up a key piece of the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade, signing forward Gabriel Vilardi to a two-year, $6.875 million contract, the team announced on Wednesday. The two sides avoided arbitration with the deal; the hearing was set for July 28. Vilardi was set to be a restricted free agent, but will […]

With many key players rumored to want out, the Winnipeg Jets were in for an eventful offseason. The roster overhaul has already begun, with the Jets shipping off Pierre-Luc Dubois and buying out former captain Blake Wheeler. Before long, Mark Schiefele and Connor Hellebuyck could be on their way out of Winnipeg as well. With […]

Just two weeks before his salary arbitration hearing, Morgan Barron agreed to a two-year contract that will pay the forward an average annual value of $1.35 million, the Winnipeg Jets announced on Monday. The 24-year-old forward was a restricted free agent this summer, and avoided an arbitration hearing that was scheduled for the first week […]

After winning a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights, goaltender Laurent Brossoit is back with the Winnipeg Jets — and the 30-year-old is ready to push Connor Hellebuyck for the starting job in Manitoba. “From my own perspective, I see opportunity and I’m going to push ‘Helley,’” Brossoit said this week, per NHL.com’s Derek […]

The Winnipeg Jets got an absolute haul in return for center Pierre-Luc Dubois from the Los Angeles Kings, and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff expressed his satisfaction with the trade this week. “We’re very excited with the pieces we were able to acquire,” Cheveldayoff said at the NHL Draft at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, per NHL.com’s Derek […]

After 13 seasons with the team, it appears Blake Wheeler has played his final game with the Winnipeg Jets. The team is working to buy out the final year of Wheeler’s contract and he will become a free agent once he clears waivers, according to Darren Dreger. Wheeler was traded to the Jets in February […]

There have been a lot of rumors regarding the Winnipeg Jets trading center Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings, and it seems that the deal is close to happening. We also have more details on what that trade could look like, if it comes to fruition. The Kings and Jets are closing in on […]

The last time we heard about Pierre-Luc Dubois is that the Los Angeles Kings are winning the race to acquire the Winnipeg Jets forward. However, the Montreal Canadiens are apparently not willing to give up on PLD just yet, per Darren Dreger of TSN. “Indications are the Montreal Canadiens have tried to get back into […]

It appears that Pierre-Luc Dubois is on the verge of getting shipped by the Winnipeg Jets. The Montreal Canadiens have long been linked to Dubois, but it’s the Los Angeles Kings who appear to be the most likely landing spot for the forward, as pointed out by Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. “It sure feels […]

While hockey fans await to see what the Philadelphia Flyers, St. Louis Blues, and Carolina Hurricanes have in the works, another major trade is reportedly brewing involving Pierre-Luc Dubois. And for the Los Angeles Kings, acquiring the Winnipeg Jets center could come at quite a cost. The Kings are prepared to send multiple pieces to […]

The Winnipeg Jets really have no choice but to blow up their core after Pierre-Luc Dubois and Connor Hellebuyck made it clear they are done in Manitoba, and Blake Wheeler’s comments about his coach have also all but guaranteed his exit. It’s almost certainly going to be a new-look team in Winnipeg next season, and […]

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 […]

The Winnipeg Jets publicly pushed back on head coach Rick Bowness after their elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Players having issues in some form or another is nothing new if you’re a Jets fan. It was just a rather public display of these issues coming to the surface. We don’t know the extent of […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally won a playoff series this season, their first since 2004. Fans and the team alike buzzed with anticipation for the deep run to come. However, that run never came. The Maple Leafs were pushed aside by the Florida Panthers. Florida nearly swept the Maple Leafs, but dominated throughout nonetheless. In […]

With the NHL offseason officially upon us, the trade stoves have been burning hot already. There are many enticing trade targets available, and several of them come from the Winnipeg Jets, including star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Winnipeg’s exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs was ugly to say the least. The Jets lost in five games […]

With the Vegas Golden Knights claiming their first Stanley Cup in franchise history on Tuesday night, the 2022-23 NHL offseason has officially begun. As the draft hype, free agency speculation, and trade talks heat up, one of the teams at the center of the offseason will likely be the Winnipeg Jets and star Pierre-Luc Dubois. […]

The Winnipeg Jets will have to work double hard if they want to keep goalie Connor Hellebuyck beyond the 2023-23 NHL season. The next NHL campaign will be the last for Hellebuyck with the team per his current deal and unless he signs an extension with the Jets, he’s going somewhere else, either via a trade […]

The Winnipeg Jets have known for a year that forward Pierre-Luc Dubois wanted out. Now, the player has given the team a bit of a time frame for his desired trade away from Manitoba. Dubois has informed the team he wants a trade this summer, The Athletic’s NHL insider Pierre LeBrun reports. Dubois and his […]

Detroit Red Wings and Team Canada forward Joe Veleno sent shockwaves through the hockey world on Saturday. He made a very dirty and dangerous play as cameras caught him attempting to stomp on Winnipeg Jets and Team Switzerland forward Nino Niederreiter. The stomp drew strong reactions from hockey fans on social media. The International Ice […]

The Winnipeg Jets saw their season come to an abrupt end when they lost their first-round playoff series to the Vegas Golden Knights in 5 games.

Rick Bowness absolutely ripped into his team after an embarrassing performance in Game 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights ended the Winnipeg Jets’ season — and a few of his players were not happy with the comments. “I thought Bones had an opportunity to address us as a team. He could’ve been honest with us, […]

The Winnipeg Jets looked to be in solid shape after stealing Game 1 against the Golden Knights in Las Vegas — but it all went downhill after that as Rick Bowness’ team lost four straight and became the first team eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2023. Bowness had no patience for his team […]

The Winnipeg Jets are on the verge of losing in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third time in the last five seasons, but they could have one of their best players back in Nikolaj Ehlers for a do-or-die Game 5 in Las Vegas against the Golden Knights on Thursday. Ehlers […]

The Winnipeg Jets head into Game 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday looking to stave off elimination. But, they will be without a very important player.
