But will the Winnipeg Jets be able to overcome their 2019 weaknesses? The 2018 Jets looked so good, pushing to the top of the division. They’ve managed to stay afloat there, albeit barely, but having this much high-end talent can do that.
What it can’t do, if you’re also not playing well as a team, is win you a playoff series or four. Their second line was lacking, and they figured adding Kevin Hayes would help. I can’t imagine it won’t, but will it fix their issues?
Since the calendar turned, the Winnipeg Jets are just 14-11-2, with a paltry +3 goal differential and a 47.
