Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2025/2026 season

[blue_gold_84]

If the Jets get a win tonight, they'll finish with 84 points. That's easily the team's worst season in a decade, and in terms of overall point share, one of the worst since Jets 2.0 history began. (2015-16 takes the cake IIRC)

And when one takes into consideration what this team managed to achieve a year ago, this season's failure should serve as a pretty glaring wake-up call for the organization.

I really hope Cheveldayoff and co. are up to the task of getting things back on track.

What was the major change, last year to this year?

New GM?

New core players?

Oh wait...

It's gotta be the team's top priority this off-season.

I feel like we say that every year. But yes, it's true.

If we had any decent amount of buying power in the July FA market and could just overpay for a proven top C - even just a reliable one who's consistent - I feel like that would solve 80% of our problems. Then we can spread the wealth out a bit more and get more scoring outside our top line. Throw in a bounce-back year for Helle (doesn't have to be Vezina-good, but needs to be Helle-good) and we've got a >100 point regular season & guaranteed division playoff seed next year IMO.

Going into tonight. Win or lose, I think we still stay in 7th going into the lottery.
