Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2025/2026 season

It's a very good scoring line. The elite can play with different players and have much better defence.

There's ample proof of that already, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. Scheifele and Connor are both elite players in their own right, so 2/3 of a line being comprised of elite players makes for an elite line, IMO.

But within the next 2ish years, how to you supplement them with better players when we can't sign top tier free agents, draft picks will not be ready in time, and we're constantly stifled by no trade clauses?

I don't have the answer to that question. It's up to the organization and management to figure all that out.

You're right that they can be good enough with help from the rest of the roster (not just the 2nd line).

That's our choice, not reality. Not realizing that was our single greatest mistake last year.

A little column A, a little column B. Lambert would absolutely have given us more than Nyquist, obviously. But is he the next Scheif/Conner/Ehlers?
