The NHL summer trade window is quickly opening, and things could fall into place quickly for the Winnipeg Jets to win big. Should the Jets call up their old friends in the New York Rangers for a few deals? Could a blockbuster between both teams actually pan out? Is William Karlsson the answer to Winnipeg's 2C question? What cost might Vegas attach to the man known as "Wild Bill"? If the Sabres dec...

The NHL trade market is heating up rapidly, and Jason Robertson is at the heart of the maelstrom. Why is he suddenly being discussed as a major trade option for teams? Could he be the number one play Winnipeg should make this off-season? Would Dallas even entertain a deal with the Jets? What should we think of some of the rumored offer sheet targets (and price-ranges) from the Daily Faceoff? Is Ma...

The Winnipeg Jets may not be competing for the Cup, but their summer is still heating up in some unexpected ways. What's all this racket about Luke Evangelista, and could he become a great value add to Winnipeg's middle-6? What would players like Evangelista do for the Jets depth scoring problems? Are the recent rumors and roster moves signaling an active trade traffic pattern for the usually quie...

Last season, we heard a lot about how the Winnipeg Jets needed to get 5-10% better. In many ways, the team did. They won the first President's trophy in franchise history, and finally won playoff games. And yet, there's a sense of unfinished business for the team. What does Winnipeg need to do to improve yet again? Will a reliance on youth alongside a trade or two fix what ails the team's scoring?...

The free agent market for centres might be quite pricey this summer, and for the Winnipeg Jets...that ain't a bad thing. Brock Nelson's extension in Colorado takes one of the biggest names off the market, and might hint at how expensive the other top free agents will be. Will this push the Jets to explore the trade market aggressively? Are there any free agents out there still worth exploring? Is...

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Eddie Garcia (Locked On Kings) and David Morassutti (Locked On Leafs) are here to talk about the Stanley Cup Final beginning and where Mitch Marner is going to go in free agency, as well as some other key free agents!   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In very unexpected news, Rasmus Kupari has signed a 2-year deal with Swiss club Lugano. Did the Winnipeg Jets make this decision, or did Kupari's camp opt for this? Might this be the potential first move among many in the mythical Summer of Chevy? What departures could follow for the Jets, and will Winnipeg have replacements prepared? How can the Jets incorporate youth without losing the veteran s...

Amidst the Winnipeg Jets prospect pool, there are a number of players that one might consider "wild cards". These players don't fit into neat categories and may be longer shots to become NHLers. Which of the young Finnish skaters might be able to help the Jets soon? Will Winnipeg find a gem amongst the few remaining NCAA prospects in the pool? Are there late bloomers with the Manitoba Moose that m...

The baby Winnipeg Jets continue to increase in number, and figuring out which skaters stand at the top of the pool can be challenging. To sort things a bit more cleanly, we've divided Winnipeg's top 10 skater prospects into a 3-tier system. Which prospects made the A-tier list? Is Brad Lambert truly a B-tier prospect, or is there more to his circumstances worth considering? Will Kieron Walton leap...

The Winnipeg Jets have often been discussed as an unattractive destination for players with no-trade clauses and free agents. How should Winnipeg adapt to this? Is the true answer to try and target teams with out-of-favor RFAs through offer sheets? How would this work for the Jets, who don't own all of their picks next year? Are there some particular players that would make sense for Winnipeg to o...

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Eddie Garcia (Locked On Kings) and Zach Martin (Locked On Hurricanes) are here to talk about what really matters in the playoffs: goaltending. Also, we discuss how to improve the regular season AND the playoff format, before swinging back to the playoffs to talk about the importance of physical players like Sam Bennet...

The Adam Lowry news might be one of the single biggest (and worst) pieces of news this Winnipeg Jets off-season has had. Lowry needing hip surgery increases the immediate need for a second-line centre, and may very well impact the sort of player he is for the foreseeable future. Does this mean Winnipeg now needs to make an even bigger swing for a roster upgrade this summer? Why is Lowry's presence...

The summer of Chevy could lead to an absolute Winnipeg Jets trade banger, given some of the names rumored to be available. If the Sabres decide to move on from JJ Peterka, should he be Winnipeg's number one target? What might a trade package even look like? Is Zegras in Anaheim still an appealing option, or does he carry too much baggage? Are there any Bruins skaters worth considering, especially...

The Winnipeg Jets have long relied on veteran talent to get them to the playoffs. Now that they've gone deeper in the dance, it's time to take the next step and evolve. How can the inevitable youth movement reshape Winnipeg's line-up and playoff prospects? Will the upcoming season be one of transition and change? Why might this growth (and possible pain) be worth the playoff payoff? With such a so...

Kevin Cheveldayoff has been named a finalist for the Jim Gregory award for best GM this season. What are the merits that Chevy might win this award on, and is it really deserved for this particular season's moves? Why might Winnipeg need to look into some key upgrades for the blueline, especially given the crowded contract situation? Will the Jets make the defensive upgrade via the trade market, o...

We all knew that the Winnipeg Jets had some challenging roster situations lying in wait this summer. With the playoff run now over, that reality is even more apparent, especially as some Jets skaters are likely to depart for greener pastures. How can the "Summer of Chevy" set this team up for another Cup run? Will Winnipeg finally find its second-line centre solution on the trade market this off-s...

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Eddie Garcia (Locked On Kings), Haley Taylor Simon (Locked On Blues), Ann Kimmel (Locked On Preds) and Seth Toupal (Locked On Wild) are here to check in on the start of the conference finals, talk through each team’s changes, make some predictions on the Stanley Cup Final, dissect the latest playoff disappointment fro...

The Winnipeg Jets have finally gone through their first round of season exit interviews, and some of the team's comments have provided reasons for optimism. A more positive outlook and a desire to reach that next level of contention characterized the press conference. What missteps have the Jets made, and how can Winnipeg learn and build from those moments? Can these problems become the teaching m...

The Winnipeg Jets have a very challenging summer ahead of them. With numerous roster decisions to make, the team needs to carefully navigate the contract waters to give the future squad the best chance to win. How should Winnipeg approach their multitudes of free agents? Are there any players who are must-signs? Which skaters might be better served seeking green pastures outside of Winnipeg? Will...

The season may not have ended the way the Winnipeg Jets wanted, but it was still a year to remember. Winnipeg won it's first President's Trophy and made history multiple times on the path to the playoffs. What can we take away from this remarkable year for the team? What were some of the biggest successes? Has the team shown enough growth to evolve yet again for the upcoming seasons? What does the...

Game 6 between the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars was supposed to be a normal elimination game. Instead, tragedy struck the night before and the Winnipeg Jets family had to rally around the Scheifele family. In one of the most emotional games I can recall, Winnipeg fell just short, but one can only love and respect the effort the Jets put up. How will Winnipeg process the loss and the future of th...

In a do-or-die, must-win game for the Winnipeg Jets, the Jets went and chose the "do" option. From start to finish, Winnipeg put on a suffocating 60 minutes of hockey. Despite some quirky officiating against both teams, the Jets took the puck and ran with it for 3 periods. Hellebuyck answered all questions asked of him, shutting Dallas out for a second straight home game. Will the special teams su...

Game 4 ended in frustration once again for the Winnipeg Jets. Despite a passable even-strength performance, awful special teams play, a lack of offensive production, and Hellebuyck's continued road struggles all led to a deflating 3-1 loss. Winnipeg now stands on the brink of elimination, and seemingly lacks answers for how to climb out of the hole it's dug for itself. What led to this moment? Was...
