Winnipeg Jets season preview
The Winnipeg Jets are going to have a much different look to their group this season. They were eliminated by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights in the first round of the playoffs, and then lost two key members to their roster in Blake Wheeler and Pierre-Luc Dubois this offseason. This is still a good team, but the organization is certainly going through some changes.

Offense
Losing two out of the team’s top five scorers never seems like a good thing, but the Jets still have a ton of offensive firepower. Kyle Connor is one of the most underrated players in the league. Mark Scheifele still has some game in him, and they brought in Gabriel Vilardi and Alex Iafallo from the Los Angeles Kings.
The Jets finished at the top of the league last season in expected goals per 60 minutes, but they totally underperformed, as they were actually toward the bottom of the league in goals per game and power play success.
