The Winnipeg Jets are in a good position to absorb a lost year and still be contenders. This team has a big window.
Now, if they continue to play like they have, that will raise quite a few questions. They won’t be the slam-dunk contenders many of us envisioned before this season.
They’ll be an intriguing team with a high-powered offense and trouble stopping the puck in their own end. But development is not linear.
There are often bumps in the road. And this team can skyrocket to the top of the standings and nearly to the Stanley Cup Finals, we’ve seen it.
