The NHL is a copycat league. It works both ways. Teams try to replicate what the recent Stanley Cup Champions did to get to the top. For the teams at the bottom, they can consider that, but also use other successful teams as a template for their rebuild.
It also allows teams to try and avoid examples of poor team building such as the Edmonton Oilers or the early stages of the Buffalo Sabres rebuilds. The Winnipeg Jets appear to check several boxes that unite old school and new school thinkers.
Winnipeg is big and physical, but also very fast and highly skilled.
