One of the most frequently asked questions this summer has been why haven’t the Winnipeg Jets re-signed veteran Lee Stempniak? The simple answer is opportunity.
The Jets have left holes in their lineup this off-season, potentially creating room for young players such as Nik Ehlers, Nik Petan, Joel Armia and Andrew Copp to win jobs on the NHL roster.
The Jets will be younger this season and how that youth adapts will tell the story of this team and its quest to remain a playoff club.
