The Winnipeg Jets seem to be in a freefall organizationally with the unlikely departure of Dustin Byfuglien and the fact that Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor remain unsigned. It’s time for the St. Louis Blues to take advantage.
The Jets finished second in the Central Division last season after falling just one point shy behind the Nashville Predators for the division crown. Winnipeg ended up tied with the Blues with 99 points in the regular season but finished in second place due to tiebreakers.
The Blues ended Winnipeg’s playoff run in the first round in an epic six-game series.
