Do Cup winners tend to make trades, or is there another explanation for their success? Why is it real...

The 2025 NHL trade deadline was supposed to be a victory lap for Winnipeg. The Jets were going to add Brock Nelson! Winnipeg would add another impact blueliner, and go on to march to a Cup Final. Reality, however, has been a crueler mistress. Winnipeg has completely failed to acquire big talent, and settled for Brandon Tanev and Luke Schenn. While both skaters will round out the back half of the r...

The countdown to the trade deadline is rapidly ticking away, and Winnipeg is evidently all-in for Brock Nelson. The Jets aren't closing any doors, but a trade of a 1st rounder and beyond has been put into play for the Isles centre. Intriguingly, this may not be a pure rental situation either. What sort of contract would we be looking at for an extension? Is it worth the risk of Nelson's potential...

The Winnipeg Jets have finally learned how to lose multiple games again, and the timing might be slightly uncanny. With a massive trade deadline bookending the end of the work-week, the Jets have shown that they still have a few needs at 5v5.
