Paul Maurice has split up Scheifele and Wheeler! Where do the Jets go from here? They picked up a nice 1-0 win over Edmonton but then struggled against the lowly Kings. What was a strength of the team, the offence, has now let them down the last couple of games. Blake Wheeler hasn't been scoring at a pace consistent with the last couple of years. Should fans start to get worried? Does the addition of Luca Sbisa make a difference? Today Kyle Buhler is feeling under the weather, so local hockey fan Randy Lilley joins the show.

It's been an up and down stretch for the Winnipeg Jets. They won three straight before dropping the last two. Tuesday's game against Arizona was the first that wasn't a "sellout" since their return to Winnipeg in 2011. Should fans be worried? There have been some rumours about a return to the lineup for Dustin Byfuglien and Bryan Little. What kind of impact can they have on the lineup? You can find all of that and more on this week's episode.

(22:23) - Is Byfuglien back?

NHL hockey is finally being played and the Winnipeg Jets are .500 after an opening four game road trip. No Dustin Byfuglien, no Josh Morrissey (for two games), yet somehow the team has done better than many expected. The Jets have been pleasantly surprised by the play of rookie Ville Heinola but on the other hand haven't been surprised with the overall defence at times in front of their net. What does this start say about the team? Who's stood out? The guys answer these questions and more on the first podcast of the season!

The NHL preseason has been moving right along and we are finally getting closer to meaningful games. Not a lot of progress has been made (from our perspective) when it comes to Kyle Connor, Patrik Laine and Dustin Byfuglien, so we will speculate on potential trade options. We will also break down the last few games and look at the players who've been cut.

It's the busiest time of the year for off-ice NHL activity. The Winnipeg Jets have traded away an elite defenseman, have drafted what they hope could be an elite defenseman in the future and are now getting ready to spend money in free agency. Did they get enough for Trouba? Are the Winnipeg Jets going to be facing an offer sheet? How much can they sign Kyle Connor and Patrick Laine for? What type of player do they still need to acquire? They guys answer these questions and more in the off season update.

After a brief playoff podcast break, the boys are back! The Stanley Cup has been handed out (Congratulations St. Louis) and now the NHL off season begins! The Winnipeg Jets are heading into what could arguably be their most difficult and influential offseason since arriving in Winnipeg. The Jets have key players needing contracts (Jacob Trouba, Patrick Laine, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp...) and players with contracts that could be bought out (Dimitri Kulikov). The entry draft is coming up next week and free agency will open up on July 1st. What problem should the Jets tackle first? What should they do with Jacob Trouba? Find out on this week's episode.

(10:25) - Offseason Overview

 Let the analysis begin! The Winnipeg Jets have been eliminated from the 2019 NHL Playoffs and start their off season early. The six game series with the St. Louis Blues had a bit of everything. The Jets struggled on home ice but then showed resiliency by winning two games on the road. The third period seemed to be a problem; why couldn't they hold on to a lead? How does a team go from the Western Conference final one season to being ousted in the first round the next? The guys look at what went wrong, what's next for the Jets, and what the second round of the playoffs will look like.
