The trade ports appear to be opening for business, and Jared McCann's name has surfaced on the market. McCann's a player we've discussed before, but now that he might truly be available, what would it cost? Is there a possibility that he comes to Winnipeg with another Seattle skater? Would Utah be an ever better trade partner than Seattle? What skaters make sense for the Jets? Is there any sense i...

The 4 Nations Face-Off tournament is about to open with a marquee match-up between Canada and Sweden. Just how absurd is this Canadian roster? Can it possibly be any better by the team the Olympics roll around? Did Scheifele make the cut, or is Crosby back in his spot? Why should Winnipeg fans pay special attention to the Morrissey-Parayko pairing? Might it be a preview of something more following...

The Winnipeg Jets have closed out the pre-Four Nations tournament on an absolute heater, winning 8 straight games. It took some individual heroics, but the Jets got it done against the suddenly-resurgent Islanders. Who stood tall for Winnipeg? Was Lambert able to make his mark in his first game back since December? Should the Jets be in on Noah Dobson? What might it cost for Winnipeg to bring him...

The Winnipeg Jets have been rounding into form as of late, and a date with the Islanders holds more intrigue than it usually would. The Jets could be the first team to score 200 goals on the season, and will likely have eyes glued on the performances of a handful of Islanders skaters for trade purposes. Will Winnipeg emerge victorious, or will the suddenly-hot Isles end the winning streak? Which p...

The Winnipeg Jets are a first place team that still has a surprising amount of room for improvement. What parts of the team could use some classic Chevy trade deadline magic? Is there a forward solution that might be a typical buy-low candidate, or are the Jets aiming bigger for once? What prospects might be looked at as trade pieces for the Jets? Who in Winnipeg's youth pool has stood out recentl...

Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Seth Toupal (Locked On Wild), Jess Belmosto (Locked On Flames), Zach Martin (Locked On Hurricanes) and Tom Callahan (Locked On Utah HC). Today we’re talking about the upcoming four Nations tournament, whether it’s created an unofficial trade deadline, who could be moved this month, and also what the next name for the...

After a huge win in Washington, the Winnipeg Jets welcomed yet another top Eastern team to Canada Life for a major match-up. An impressive night from Eric Comrie and the power play powered the Jets to a huge 2 points. Which lines stood out the most for Winnipeg? Was the top line able to push more offense, or did the Jets rely more on the depth units? How important have the bottom lines been in dec...

The Winnipeg Jets are back home after a triumphant overtime win in Washington. After a tough test against the Caps, the Jets now face a tough opponent in the Carolina Hurricanes. How will the new-look Canes likely line up against Winnipeg? Will Rantanen be as scary for Carolina as he was for Colorado? How are the trade winds looking with respect to the Jets? Are the trades the Central Division has...

The Winnipeg Jets are en route to Washington DC for this weekend's marquee match-up. A battle of the two top-ranked teams in the league promises to be an unforgettable night. How will the Caps line up against the Jets? Who will emerge victorious? Should the Jets make a one-stop shopping trip in Seattle for two, or even THREE, Kraken players? Who might be of interest to the Jets? How will the Kuzme...

A pair of big wins against the Atlantic Division has left Winnipeg fans feeling giddy. How did the Jets handle a pesky Habs team that's started to turn a corner? Did Laine get one of his patented slappers on the power play? What on earth is going on with Boston? Will the Bruins finally admit it's time to tear it all down and rebuild? Is the Jets power play too good? Why might it impact how many op...

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Seth Toupal (Locked On Wild), Chris Micieli (Locked On Avalanche), Eddie Fox (Locked On Kings) and Ann Kimmel (Locked On Predators) get together to talk about the surprise Mikko Rantanen blockbuster trade, whether the Eastern wildcard race is going to affect the trade deadline, and when Vancouver is finally going to s...

The grind doesn't stop for the Winnipeg Jets, and an early stop in Montreal should prove to be an entertaining affair for two potent power plays. Will Laine's resurgence carry the Habs forward, or will Winnipeg's resilience hold fast? What on earth is happening over in Vancouver? Would a Pettersson trade even be feasible from Winnipeg's perspective? Who else might the Jets be keeping a close eye o...

It's been an insane weekend of NHL-related activities. Lost in all of this were two good Winnipeg wins against Utah and Calgary. What went right against teams that beat the Jets just the week before? Has Winnipeg found a winning formula without Lowry in tow? What do we make of the Rantanen trade, and how does that reshape the balance of power in the Central Division? Is there any merit to the sugg...

After a thrilling overtime win against Colorado, the Winnipeg Jets are prepping for a revenge game against Utah. Can the Jets clean up their puck management that bedeviled them last game? What line adjustments might the team make? Is Arniel going to stick with Stanley on the third pairing, or do his usual rotation work? Should Winnipeg trade for Brock Nelson and extend him? What might his extensio...

NOTE: This was recorded before the McDavid suspension was announced   Welcome to the NHL Squad show! Today, Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Jay Forster (Locked On Blue Jackets), Armando Velez (Locked On Panthers) and Josh Sperber (Locked On Lightning) are hanging out to chat about suspensions in the NHL, the Eastern Conference wildcard race, and whether the Vancouver Canucks should trade JT Mill...

The first few games of the Winnipeg boomerang schedule haven't gone according to plan. A goalie wall against Calgary and a dismal loss against Utah left head coach Scott Arniel seething. How will the Jets respond against an Avalanche team that looks to have a healthier line-up now? Can Winnipeg survive without Lowry against a fast team? What will the Jets do to replace him, and should the team be...

It's rare that the Winnipeg coaching staff lights into the Jets for a bad game, but the outing against Utah earned Arniel's fury. A lifeless game filled with bad mistakes from players up and down the line-up sank Winnipeg's efforts early. In context, however, Lowry's absence may have accounted for at least of the problems. Why did Samberg have such an off night, though? Where was the top line's sc...

The Winnipeg Jets have been on a roll lately, but a challenging outing against the Calgary Flames ended the winning streak. Was it a game where Winnipeg earned the loss, or was the potential Calder winner in net to blame? What lessons should the Jets take from this defeat? Why might we be encouraged despite the final scoreline? With Nikita Chibrikov potentially sidelined indefinitely, what will Wi...

The Winnipeg Jets continue their homestand with an unusual arrangement of 5 games against the same 3 teams. With bookends of Calgary games sandwiching a pair of match-ups in Utah and a lone game in Colorado, the Jets will be logging a fair few airmiles over the next week. What record should we expect from a busy Western trip? Will Winnipeg repeat the same excellent performance it against Colorado...

The last few games for the Winnipeg Jets have demonstrated what it takes for this team to run play at even-strength. Why, then, was the scoreline not as lopsided as it should have been against Seattle? Which lines and player combinations helped propel Winnipeg to victory? Are the Jets finally putting 2 and 2 together about what they need to look like for the post-season? How might this continued p...

The season continues to roll onwards for the Jets, and a Thursday night match-up against the Kraken should be a fun one for fans. The Jets have a middle-6 that continues to look reborn with the new line-ups, and they should have the advantage against a limping Seattle squad. If Seattle begins to sell off assets in the near future, should the Jets be calling? Who should Winnipeg be targeting? Shoul...

Welcome to the NHL Squad show! Today, Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Jack Bushman (Locked On Blackhawks), David Morasutti (Locked On Leafs), Eddie Garcia (Locked On Kings) and Josh Sperber (Locked On Lightning) talk about the most disappointing teams in the first half of the season, hopes for the second half of the season, and have some fun discussion which teams currently in a playoff spot mig...

It seems like the Winnipeg Jets have finally cracked a secret formula with the line-up, and the early returns continue to be staggering. The reworked middle-6 helped pave the way in a massive drubbing of the Vancouver Canucks. What stood out in a game where Kyle Connor and the middle-6 ate their match-ups for breakfast? Were there any real notes for improvement, or was this game as close to perfec...

Are there any alterations of note, or is it mostly the same as Saturday? What should we expect from a Vancouver team that's been going through some major drama lately? Should Winnipeg be after a disgruntled talent like Petter...
