Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2023/2024 Season

[Pigskin]

Well it looks like for the first season since the Jets 2.0 returned to Winnipeg, I will not have season tickets. With both of our Grandson's playing hockey in Sask. this season I can't see myself spending a lot of time in Winnipeg.

So MS55 and Heinola for Chytil and Schneider of the Rangers? Rumored on CJOB today.

A rumour that was started by a Rangers fanboy on social media.

And what a terrible trade suggestion it is.

So, we have @ALowsyPlayer17 leading the team now.

Will be interesting to see if that makes a change in the dressing room.  No doubting his heart and leadership skills, but there are still some old guard in there he will need to get on board under his rule.

I am happy with Adam Lowry wearing the C.

Everyone should be. He's a gritty, tenacious, competitive player who walks the walk and leads by example pretty much every shift.

sidenote: was the 2022-23 thread deleted? I was trying to find some info from last season but had no luck.

I apologize for my ignorance (and derailing this thread) but is that something that can be accessed by members?

Most definitely agree with the choice in making Lowry our Jet captain.    He is a special person who will inspire on and off the ice.

The kudos, mentioned by so many others, are very fitting. This everyday leader will continue to set a good competitive example I have no doubt.

One of the keys for me is CP91. Would like to see him as our 2nd. line C. Apparently he spent a lot of time this summer working out with a new trainer.

20-25 G, and 35-40 A  Some where around 60 points.

I?m gonna feel kinda meh about Perfetti until he can stay on the ice for a fullish season.

That's my concern with him being the projected 2C, too. Today's presser made it sound like it's his spot to lose.

As for the new pieces, it sounds like Vilardi will be 1RW, Iafallo will be 3LW, and Kupari will be 4C.

I am also hoping that 1 or 2 of are young prospects can have an outstanding camp and give a couple our vets a run for there money.
