The Jets had tons of prospects stuck on the Moose because there were vets in the way.
In case you didnt notice there were some spots that opened up this summer and Chevy hasnt been trying to fill them with free agents or trades.
To me that signals a youth movement. Perfetti, Lucis, Barlow, Chibrikov, Lambert, Yager, etc will all get a shot to earn top 6 minutes.
On defense as much as id like to fire pionk and his contract into the sun nobody is touching that so we get to eat the last year and smile about it. Demelo is a fantastic partner for Morrissey but i still want a true #1 so he be paired with Samburg on the 2nd pair.
Heinola, Salossamon, Stanley and Miller are fine as the 3rd pair/press box
Favorite hockey channel for videos like this
Favorite hockey channel ever
The only Jet prospect you are missing Shannon is the MOST important one - Elias Salomonsson. He's a RHD Swedish 19 y/o with ALL the tools and North American sandpaper. Skates, Shoots, can play dirty, 6'2" / 185 lbs. Many of us Winnipeggers that follow everything Jets expect him to be on the Jets roster at some time this season. Ask Yvonne, she will know. Just buggin ya, but VERY surprised you didn't mention him. Cheers.
That is an absolutely gorgeous jersey
I'm just getting the same as last season vibes....Strong in the regular season,poor in the playoffs...Wouldn't be surprised if Hellebuyck regresses a bit...Would be hard to match what he did in the regular season last season...Also wonder if Scheifele takes a step back next season...He's nearly 32 years old, played nearly 800 nhl games.Feeling age and fatigue will catch up to him soon.
Wow. The season hasn't even started and you are already complaining about playoffs. You think you are making an intelligent comment about the "fatigue" of a 32 year old in the prime of his life, but in reality you are simply promoting the bandwagon... get off the bandwagon! Wheels was 36 before the bandwagon caught up to him... hold off on the Sheifele B/S for another few years at least. then you can complain for no reason! besides your feelings and beliefs... why are you not an expert or even close to it? you seem so smart. LMFAO!!! fans like you are the worst in the entire league! scratch that... in every sports league in existence. you are the worst! let people fail before you complain about them maybe failing.
I think the Jets got worse this off season, but I think they have a 90% chance of making the playoffs, even if it is as a wild card team.
How did they get worse? This is almost exactly the same roster.
@@Dorian803the only big losses are brossoit and Dillon. I think we’ll be solid this year, hopefully we can surprise people again this year. People forget we finished 4th in the league after our disastrous playoffs
Jets aint getting better, downhill already started. Scheif aint getting better, same with Hellebuyck and others. Jets are good team at their best but their meh caliber always enough good to go playoffs and then lose 1st round. Just like minnesota earlier years.
@@Koersky didnt Tyler Taffoli leave as well, there was also another deadline acquisition that signed in Columbus..
@@-imjustjoshinya8254 yeah but we were first in the league before getting those guys that left in FA
Honestly, I don't expect us to fall off at all. Last year we were at the forefront of the Central division race all year long, and we didn't really have a 2C for most of the season then either. However Arneil has said he wants to really give the young players a shot so I would not even be surprised if Lambert grabs that 2C spot out of training camp depending on his performance. If he does, him and Perfetti I could see being very dynamic together. Long time viewer, first time commenter, just wanted to pitch in my two cents and hopefully the Canucks do well this season as well so you can enjoy this season more! GJG!!
True, but keep in mind the injuries and circumstances other teams faced mid season. That's a huge reason why the Jets led the nhl at one point.
Only issue I have in one word - PLAYOFFS - in the famous words of the ROCK - "It doesn't matter..." - it's all about the playoffs and the Jets were BRUTAL against the Avs sorry to say. They have a lot of work ahead of them IMO
@@KptKrunch9481Jets clearly needed a player on coke like COL did.
@@frosty.winnipeg LMAO - good one, and back in the old days Grant Fuhr when they used to beat up on the Jets.
@@burnthashbrown899jets also faced lots of big injuries last year. All 3 of our top line guys were injured for pretty good chunks of the year at numerous times.
A year ago we were talking Jets rebuild and wondering if Scheif and Helly were on their way out.
This year we have far less questions, we came off a strong regular season last year, and the players in development are one year closer and some will likely make an appearance this year.
Time will tell if the coaching changes will help this team or not. If they can get the PP and PK up to a top 10 level, team likely has an excellent chance to make the playoffs. Will be interesting to see how it goes this year!
far fewer questions, not "less"
@@dillonbrecht3240 seriously? You want to be the grammar police in the comments section? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rebuilding isn't an option for the Jets.
The fans wouldn't tolerate it.
Season ticket holders have dropped 25% in the last 5 years.
Not good.
Rethink the " Whiteout. "
Other than a small handful of times, It really hasn't been beneficial to the team.
I hope Perfetti signs a contract similar to Byfield's (but hopefully with more term)
Def gonna be an interesting season cause overall we're pretty much the same as last season
Good lord that’s a nice jersey.
Jets were 2 wins away from the Presidents trophy last season
All that just to get smoked by Colorado
Yup. They do that
Doesn't mean much.
They went out 4 straight the last two playoffs.
Playoff performance is what really matters.
And it meant absolutely nothing. Once they faced adversity in the opening round of the playoffs, they folded. What you do in the playoffs matters a heck of a lot more than having a good regular season.
@@pomerlain8924 no. Never
I think they take a step back this year.
can’t believe i’ve been watching thg for a decade now 😮😮
Ditto!
Great thoughts, Shannon!! First and foremost, I love the jersey you're wearing, will have to keep my eyes open for one like that.
I am happy we will get to see the kids get a good tryout for the Jets, it's way overdue, in my opinion. Find the right line combos and we could be cooking.
I'm intrigued with the idea of having Lowry with Nik... they have made magic very occasionally when Bones would put Lowry out on the ice for OT with Nik, Lowry would get the puck, then send it down to Nikky who would come flying down the ice and bury it behind whichever goalie they were playing against. Plus it's kind of a built in bodyguard, Nik gets picked on if he's with smaller linemates. He did do beautifully during that segment of the year when he was with Scheif and Vilardi also so I would hope with the greater emphasis on analytics, that coaches will see Nik's value in zone entries etc and use him accordingly. He is the most exhilarating player on the Jets to watch and is my top favorite (so I'm a wee bit biased LOL).
Eventually, if our newest guy, Brayden Yager, gets a roster spot on the Jets, I'd love to see him centre a line with Nik and Brad Lambert. Helle did 60 games this last year and seemed to run out of energy with that amount of play so ideally if he gets 55, that could help with potential post season success.
A at the end of last season. Hellebuyck indirectly said that he was playing too many games and this is a team sport. so I expect him to play around 50 to 55 games this year
The back up goaltender position is definitely a downgrade from last season, not good.
Love that Jets Jersey. Did they make something like that for the Habs?!
I am a Moose season tickets holder. The Jets are a playoff contender. I am optimistic about advancing past the first round. The future of the Jets, regarding their prospects, is bright.
I would really love to see them put together a kid line similar to what the rangers had a few years ago. I know our prospects aren’t quite at that level but it would be a lot of fun to see.
They should try it to start the season, except they would definitely lose a couple other forwards to waivers if they did it. Maybe next year. I guess they could try a line including Lambert, perfetti, and villardi
Kinda wish you were doing 4 previews a day, they’re helpful for my season predictions
The Jets will be interesting this season. 3rd place is possible however with a new HC and if they let more younger guys play (which I'm okay with) I can see them falling to 4th or 5th.
In that case they'll be fighting for a wild card spot.
Ideally Helleybuck will play less than 60 games however it could be that much or more depending on how Khakkonen plays and their situation going into the playoffs.
As I said, it should be an interesting year!
With any luck Kahkonen ups his game and provides solid back up minutes and they can keep Hellebuyck under 60 games to try and keep him fresh for playoffs. They had the chance last year to keep Helle's minutes down with Brossoit playing the way he did and they still overloaded Helle so I don't have much hope for that.
Chibrikov and Lambert will get looks Lucius has had bad luck injuries
Be interesting see Yager/Barlow on WJC
The jets have never been the same since they lost Dustin Byfuglien
The Leafs haven't been the same since they lost Daryl Sittler
Let's go jets !!!
4th in the central after DAL, NSH, STL.
What makes you think st Louis is going to be in the top 3?
Frankly, I see a team that's not built for the playoffs. They'll make the playoffs, and lose in the first round again, as their so-called top players disappear, again, and they'll get outmuscled, again, and people will defend Chevy, again. The top 6 and blueline are very undersized, and they didn't add a blueliner that possesses a big shot from the point to help the PP. New season, same old story. This is a regular season team that will once again flame out in the playoffs.
Jets work best as underdogs. They will come out of the gate hard.
I'm your biggest Jets fan (besides Evon) I'm gonna go to 3 home games this year, I live beside their barn!
Being homeless in Winnipeg must suck!! Do you have a cardboard box next to the barn or just crash on the sidewalk?
@@the6ig6adwolf lol I pay $860 for a bachelor
@@the6ig6adwolf Classy
Two thumbs up on that! I got quarter seasons for this year so I get to see 11 games, really looking forward to that! I started out with a 4-pack last year and could progress this year with the quite affordable packages they were offering.
Newly subscribed to your channel. Really enjoying the content. Looking forward to seeing how the Jets play this year. Think Hellebuyck needs to play a bit less in regular season but as you said, will depend on how the back up fairs. They need to get the young guys in and play them. Need to re-send the message as being draft and develop. Push the competition in the team.
Incoming 1st, maybe 2nd round exit
This team def takes a slight step back from last year, maybe a wildcard contender, but with the amount of talent in the pipeline Im not worried because 3-5 years from now those kids will be shining
Lambert and Chibrikov are the rookies who might get in, Lucis isn't NHL right now and might not be ever. Heinola lost a step with his injury after his best start ever. If he gets back to it then he will get his shot, but if he's still off like he was at the end of last season than he won't make it to start. Yaeger and Barlow will be next year prospects.
There’s no scenario where heinola isn’t a top 6 dman in the organization, he’s already earned his spot compared to Logan Stanley who I still can’t believe they resigned
Any reason why you didn’t put April on the Jets schedule? I’m so sorry about that.
I’m curious to see if it will be Comrie or Kahkonen backing up in goal. Almost guaranteed whoever doesn’t get it will be lost to another team through waivers.
Nsh womt be as good as people think. Winning rhe offseason rarely works out.
Hele always seems to elevate his backups. Even Comrie had a really good season a few years ago and fans were sad to see him go. Of course Brosoit made us all forget about Coms and now we are hoping that the magic will happen again.
Jets D left Helly out to dry in the playoffs. They need to upgrade the defence or the same thing will happen.
How starts will Hellebuyck get? Probably mid 60s.
How many starts should Hellebuyck get? If they can find a way to get it down to 55-60, would be ideal. But I don't see it, we'll need to ride him to scrape and scrounge for every point at the end of the season for playoff standing.
Then they get destroyed in the 1st playoff round.
I miss buff
the Jets biggest problem is on D. If Morrissey ever got injured they just don't have the depth to handle it.
Ya. They only lead the league with least goals allowed last season
@@urbanoutdoorsman5654 facepalm. Yeah because that's the only thing the D does. C'mon man. You can stack a bunch of pylons in front of the net and have a low goals against, but that doesn't mean that you have a good defence. They were near the bottom of the league in PP and PK, despite having a vezina winning goaltender. Their D was slow, struggled to retrieve the puck and get it up to the forwards. They had no one to qb the 2nd pp unit. C'mon man. are you serious?
@@urbanoutdoorsman5654
They're lousy when it matters, in the playoffs.
@@urbanoutdoorsman5654 And didn't matter at all in the playoffs. And as mentioned, it's not just about defending. Outside of Morrissey, who else can create offense on the backend? Outside of Morrissey, who is a good skater? And this is on top of the fact that they don't have anyone with a booming shot from the point, which would greatly help the PP, as well as the fact that they don't have any sizeable d-men that can play physical.
@@pomerlain8924 Yet the still allowed the fewest goals last season. With that pilon Schmidt gone, and Dillion (one of the most penalized players in the league) gone, they can only get better.
Nice thumbnail. Makes me wonder how Thomas Steen will do this year.
I was somewhat high on the Jets last season, but the loss of both Monahan and Toffoli with not much to replace them worries me. Don’t let the split stats fool yah, they lost 2 25-30 goals 50-60 pts scorers in those 2 guys.
Obviously they were pure rental/mercenaries, but it’s still hurt their chances quite a lot.
We were first in the league in January without them
For sure, im strictly speaking about chances at the cup and no both of these things don’t correlate sadly.
@@Koerskypeople got excited when they got added, and then their winning percentage went down with them. 🤷
@@Actionronnie Still blown away by the salary San Jose is paying Tyler.
@@Koersky
Doesn't mean much.
The Stanley Cup final is in June.
Hellebuyck will start in 57 games, bare minimum. The team could use some help to bolster the blue line, and not just for Josh Morrisey's sake.
If they make the playoffs again, they must prove they're built for them. One good playoff game a year won't instill faith or confidence.
I'm in that 68 per cent which predict 3rd or 4th place for this team in the Central Division.
I’d like to see the jets play Hellebuyck a bit less in the regular season, maybe he is too fatigued come playoff time
Not sold on the new coaching staff
Scott Arniel is not a good coach.
Not good.
Season ticket sales will drop again.
More than 25% less in the last 5 years, in the smallest arena in the NHL.
Kamille Squares
Chicago would be first in the division if it weren't for the other 7 teams which are better than them. 😅
The Jets are starting to feel like Toronto, by that I mean the regular season means nothing to me until they win in the playoffs. I thought after 2018 theyd win more often but guess not.
After 2018, that was the time for this organization to go all in and go after some FAs and build off the success of that season. Instead, they didn't try to re-sign Stastny and let him walk, and didn't try to replace him and just elevated Brian Little to the 2C. That was a huge lost opportunity.
And really, the Jets, are like poorer, but more successful version of Toronto, as they've won 3 playoff series to Toronto's 1. At the same time though, the Jets, like the Leafs, have an ownership group and front office that is absolutely terrified of change and will keep running the same thing back, year after year. And people keep thinking Chevy's doing a good job. Being GM of a team that has 3 series wins in 13 seasons is not the definition of a good job.
For the rookie watch, you could throw Elias salamonson on there. He’s very good and will be in the top4 in place of pionk by the 25-26 season
Nope.
@@sameold5050 alright nevermind then I guess I’m wrong because sameold5050 said so!
@@neatmike7184
He turns 20 yrs old in a few days.
Very rarely does a 21 yr old defenseman play in a team's top 4.
@@sameold5050 we’ll see I guess 🤷
The central will be fascinating Dallas, Colorado and Winnipeg will all be good, Nashville got stronger on paper, Utah could have a strong season with the move and the editions. Binnington and Hofer might steal a lot of wins a.d who knows what the Wild will do.
The jets will finish the top 3 in the division. Look for Nashville or Dallas to push them out of the 2nd spot....
The Aves will drop to a wild card this season they go alot going on.... and still no goalie
Aves kinda stuck in purgatory waiting for Nuch amd Landy...
Form my understanding the entire jets team have been very vocal this off-season about coming back better. The leaders of that team have pushed...and It sounds like the organization has something to prove. That's the noise, though.
Another season of Hellebuyck carrying this team into the playoffs and if they play him a few less games he might even still have some gas left for the second season. With new a new head coach, he might be tempted to overplay his star goalie for the sake of job security. They could finish anywhere between 2nd and 5th depending on how many games Hellebuyck plays.
Damn, son
I wish Hellebuyck would only get 55 games max so that he's rested for the playoffs. He always demands playing time and that's not always the best thing for him.
Is the audio on videos quieter for anyone else or is it actually me?
I’ve noticed the same thing - I need to turn up the volume on my speaker much higher for this channel than others.
@@Scantronimus466 Same, which isn't an issue until the ads come on.
No chance Stanley gets that spot over Heinola. The Smidt buyout was to give Heniola a spot
Agree, Someone help all of us figure out Stanley.
Big boy, booming shot, yes, there are some defensive lapses which can be fine tuned, however ?????
The first time I saw that jersey I fell in love.. although, the more I see it the more I'm haunted by the empty hanger in my closet...
The sad part is they'll mop some teams in the regular season, get the points, make the playoffs and get bounced in the first round. AGAIN!
Regardless, I'm mildly excited to see their young guys show off. They need a spark.
Do you know about Anthony declare being enforced to cut his dreadlocks?
Good
*forced
60 to 65 just to be out in 5 lmao
This team needs a playoff run. I don't think they have the depth pieces and Hellebuyck burns out in the playoffs. Also, Arniel is an unknown. Still a good regular season team. 4th in the Central, 1st wild card with 93-98 points.
They absolutely have the depth. No question they have the depth right now without even deadline trades. The question, as it has always been, is whether they have the star power
Arniel will be a failure & season ticket holders will drop.
Betcha no other team have only five goalies on the list.
What teams are you doing next?
Based on the channel poll, the Atlantic division is next
Loosing Brenden Dillon is a big setback on the blue line. They don't have a replacement piece for him. I think they are a little worse going into this season.

Jets, Stars & Blues always seem to be enigmas prior to the regular season commencing.
Jets are a fast, finesse team which wore down opponents during the regular season.
They exposed that during the first game with the Av's, however the Av's made the adjustments & made the Jets play their game which wore the Jets out.
Jets MUST remain with their original game plan.
Roster is fine, Major repairs will have to be made regarding their power play, Just too predictable, Feed it to Connor on the right side, Every opponent knows that.
Penalty kill just needs some fine tuning.
They should be fine.
3rd
1 round exit and struggling attendance my prediction for the jets of Winnipeg
Not a bad take. However I think attendance will never struggle in peg (telling from experience) especially in the playoffs.
@@rileyyy01
More than 25% drop in season ticket holders in the last 5 years (about 9,500 now).
Biggest drop in the NHL.
At one time there was a long waiting list for season tickets.
The honeymoon is over & reality is setting in.
The Scott Arniel era will continue to see ticket sales drop.
Not good.
Nothing was addressed. D core is still bad. No second centre.
They got 110 points like that last year, and the young players will be better
Lowest goals against in the league last season. What a horrible D core.

@@Koersky lol not even close, same result, worst team in the league 2nd half and asses wiped in the playoffs
5th or 6th.
A 110 point team brings the same group back and misses the playoffs? Give your head a shake
Not a chance to ever win a championship. No talent No offense No defense not a playoff team.
Same with Leafs, Habs, Sens, Flames, Wild, Flyers, Isles, Kings, Sharks... etc. Wait, why don't we just go back to a 6 team league?
The Jets have always had a 3rd line calibre captain since they came back. Ladd- 3rd line on Chicago the year before he went to Atlanta and Wheeler- 3rd line on Boston before he went to Atlanta. Now they have another one in Lowry. I don’t know it just seems like the same shit every year and it’s already getting old
If you look at Wheeler's career and think 3rd line, you're a moron
@@chrisdaddy4637 that's a bit of a reach, wheeler was a 90 point player when he was made captain. 90% of the league are technically third liners when they make the show as a rookie
@@michaellastname5571 He has always been and will always be a 3rd line calibre player. Where is he right now!?! Playing 3rd line in New York
@@chrisdaddy4637be for real. There’s no 3rd line player who gets over 900 points. Yeah he’s a bottom 6 guy now because he’ll be 38 this year if he plays

Looks to me, Jets are only as good as their goalie is … Hellebuyck is the dealbreaker…. 😎
Check their record over the past few seasons with a backup in net 😎
Man that is a ugly jersey Shannon is wearing I sure hope the Winnipeg Jets never use that jersey.
Anyone but Stanley. Takes too many penalties. Other than that, I see this team barely making it to the playoffs, with a couple wins but a first round loss. It's just how we roll, until we change our ways. Doesn't matter how we do in regular season, I'm more concerned on how we do in this year's playoffs.
To the Wheeler haters... Sheifele is a consistent scorer, but still not as good as Wheels! let that sink in while you rewrite history of the "cancer in the locker room nonsense"
Hahahaha
@@urbanoutdoorsman5654
Blake Wheeler. 897. 262G. 550A. 812 PTS
Mark Scheifele. 797. 297G. 420A. 717PTS
Sheifs needs 100 points in 100 games. Wheels is still King Jet. like it or not. facts don't care about your feelings
Always liked Wheeler. I heard Rumors of Dressing Room Cliques but who knows. He was a good Jet.
The Jets are full of wimps. Who cares if we make the playoffs, this team won’t win, lack GUTS and Leadership.
