RUMOURS/LINK THREAD 🧵
With the silly season about to begin, trade bait boards coming out, and offseason movement nearing
I’m going to try and maintain a thread with links’s attached to all the reputable Jets rumours around the league
A person making their entire account about a player: Not Weird
A team making content about an awfully popular and exciting addition: Weird
Thanks Bratt Pack for summing that up for us
Watched my dad pass away tonight. My role model. Unapologetically himself always. I couldn’t have been more proud to have you as my old man and carry your name or be compared to a younger version of you.
Hug a loved one for me tonight.
I love you, Dad.❤️
If that was Blake Wheeler’s last game in Winnipeg, which I believe it was, shout-out to the Old captain for going out hard. That may have been in best game in years. Left it all out there as one last memory to the fanbase.
Credit where it’s due

Winnipeg extends their point streak to 13, 7 straight W’s. YOUR Winnipeg Jets remain First Place in the NHL.
You know what time it is

I’d like to thank the NHL execs and media who pushed the narrative that teams didn’t need Connor Hellebuyck last summer, adding another chip on the shoulder.

.927 sv%
27 Quality Starts

Allowed 3 or under 35 of his last 36
The best in the business‼️

“Nice, hard clean hit on Ehlers” quote is going to ramp this thing up to a whole other level Feb 20.
This dudes absolutely deranged, here’s the comment, and the full context of the Ehlers situation.
Ville Heinola blocked by $12M in Schmidt and Pionk
Rutger blocked by $6.1M of iaffalo and Appleton
Inefficient spending leads to inefficient usage and inefficient development downwards.
$18M of depth role players blocking own 1sts

@RussoHockey
The “only difference” in MIN/WPG recent history is Hartman admitting he intentionally went for Perfetti.
Get a grip Russo, losing credibility over a a play that happens along the boards dozens of times a game. It was a 2 minute penalty at worst. And Kaprisoft gives one back
If Josh Morrissey is missing times there’s only 1 logical option to jump into the lineup.
He’s played 5 AHL games since returning from injury
He can be sent down to play 3 more during ASG break
He was publicly told he made the team.
It’s his time.

Montreal is irrelevant
Ottawa is imploding
Toronto is overrated
Winnipeg is Canada’s best team
Calgary is in hell
Edmonton is fraudulent
Vancouver is on a heater that won’t last
A summary of the NHL is Canada, to date 🤫
Good Morning Winnipeg, let’s have a conversation. 🧵
I love this city, Winnipeg is home, and likely always will be. I’m proud to be a Winnipeger, and proud to get to interact with each and everyone of you in this community.
The Winnipeg Jets extends to 12 games, collecting a whopping 22 of 24 available points.
They have won 6 games straight in a 9 day span.
They have won 14 of their last 17.
3 goals against less streak extends to 29 games.
They have been without Kyle Connor for 13 straight.
Hellebuyck is the undisputedly, and undeniably in a tier of his own as a goaltender in the NHL right now. No one matches his consistency year in, year out. No ones managed a bigger load. No one’s carried as many tough seasons to a playoff spot
Anyone saying otherwise is lost
Watching Laurent Brossoit have success here has been great to see after a tough start. I can tell you it’s been said he was very vocal with his teammates last season that he wanted to come back here.
He’s going to earn that starting opportunity somewhere next year.
Brossoit is a player I’m genuinely going to be really happy for when he signs and ticket and gets a chance to start somewhere next year. Well earned man; well earned. What a stretch
PLD’s got nearly half a foot on Hartman, initiates the scrum and keeps the gloves sewn on. Then Post turtle shoves the rookie?
Impressive feat to come ahead the biggest loser in a clip with Ryan Hartman involved.
Let’s try that again.
The Winnipeg Jets leave tonight:
1st in the NHL in points
2nd in points %
Riding a 28 game streak of allowing 3 or under.
11 straight games collecting points
Get the PP humming consistent, and go win the West.

The Vilardi of late is the guy everyone envisioned PL Dubois being on his best day. Except, you’re actually seeing it happen rather than spending year over year fantasizing about it, Yenno?
I’ll be pretty depressed if that’s our last moments seeing Brenden Dillon as a Jet. Old school, tough as nails Dman that can skate in the modern game & just put up a career year. The quotes out of the room sound real tough. Hoping for his health above all else after that one.
Remember when Winnipeg was a loud, intimidating barn to come in and play?
I think it’s time to bring back that energy. Start thinking up Hartman chants folks
What if I told you over the last 3 years Winnipeg’s 3 best skaters; Josh Morrissey, Mark Scheifele & Nik Ehlers haven’t even played 400 minutes together. Despite the fact in those minutes they:
Outscore opposition: 24-8
While running:
56.8 CF%
55.05 xGF%
Elite stuff. Use it.
A LOT of contenders leaked they didn’t need to spend on him.
Some of those stories:
- Ilya Samsonov now the worst goalie in the league
- Jack Campbell and AHL back up
- Akira Schmid sent down, and Vitek Vanacek not capable of stopping beach balls
- Carolina can’t buy a save

come out of the Christmas break 2-0-1 to close out the calendar year 2023. 5 of 6 points vs divisional opponents.
A useful PP away from all 6.
Fought through a hard fought B2B with the rival Wild and come away with both?
Pretty damn good man. Hit it

The Winnipeg Jets org is better with Dylan Demelo in it. Both on ice and off ice. Absolutely love listening to him work through this. And the stuff about questioning everything to improve. 👌
The Winnipeg Jets locked themselves into one of the most easily dislikable teams this weekend. At every level of the org. It’s all out there. Just a gross, arrogant bunch.
Hockey tweets aside, Just wanted to log in and say Thank You to this entire community here.
The amount of love & support from family, friends and complete strangers is as so meaningful and touching in the best ways possible.
Catching up on messages and tweets in awe. ❤️
56 seconds into the game, Ryan Hartman injured. Upper body. Tanner Jeannot checked him into the curbed glass between the benches. The

Good Morning! Don’t look now but Connor Hellebuyck is making a Vezina Caliber climb, his season to date:

Sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward. I don’t mean going back to reminisce or chase ghosts…
I know there are those who say you can’t go back… but yes, you can. You just have to look in the right place.
Personally glad the Jets won’t have to be the team swallowing a $9M cap hit on a guy that shows up 60% of the time. Even if they wanted to do it. Thank you PLD, your greatest contribution came from your agent today 🫡
Good Morning!
Winnipeg Jets hockey is back in action tonight.

• Made Conference Finals vs Golden Knights
Such an insane team.
Mark Scheifele Hat Trick into the empty net. The Winnipeg Jets best forward put the team on his back in the biggest moments, under the bright lights. What a performance. What a win.

Kyle Connor was skating in a non-contact jersey this morning, only 20 days after suffering a right knee injury with a 6-8 week recovery timeline.
We’ll have more info on Connor in our

broadcast, starting at 12:30 Central in Jets viewing region.
@TSN_Edge
I find it crazy how many people can’t comprehend piecing together how simple this Greig/Rielly thing is.
- Greig adds some salt to the wound
- obvious a reaction is expected and coming
- Rielly responding is more than ok
- Responding with a cross check to the face isn’t it
FIN
Josh Morrissey is the 2nd best defenceman in the NHL this year.
Connor Hellebuyck is the undisputed
#1
goalie in the world. And a down ballot Hart nominee.
Both cost a combined ~$12.4M against the cap this year.
You push your chips in with that from your best
The Winnipeg Jets are very likely going to have their first 50 goal scoring season, and potentially a Rocket winner. The warts are obviously, but Kyle Connor is doing the most valuable skill at an insane rate. Special season brewing.. The pop in the arena after his goal hit..
From a 6 game losing streak, to a 6 game heater. Back to back shutouts against the 2 teams you’re battling on the season in the Central. Season sweep of the Avs, your first round opponent.
Peaking at the right time, again.
Re-writing the cores history?
Vibes are sky high
In less than 12 months Pierre-Luc Dubois went from netting Gabriel Vilardi, MTL’s 2024 2nd, Alex Iaffalo & Rasmus Kupari
To netting an expensive backup goalie with a negative GSAA and sub .900 sv%
This must not be updated. Both Winnipeg’s goaltenders have a Sv% at .920 or higher. No one else has started a game.
Per Hockey Reference:
Helle: 750 saves on 814 shots
Bross: 266 saves on 289 shots
Cumulative: .921 for the
#GoJetsGo
goaltenders.
Seeing Heinola’s comments today, the Winnipeg Jets are on pace to have all 4 of their 1st rounders between 2016-2019 ask out/leave before the age of 24. Not ideal for a team that “prides” itself on “Draft and Develop”
#NHLJets
Gabe Vilardi since the Jets put him on the top line with Nik Ehlers and Mark Scheifele:
•5 games
•5 goals
•5 assists, all primary
•26 shot attempts, 10 high danger chances
•With them on ice at 5v5 the Jets are up 9-2 and shots on goals are 48-22
Hoping the Minnesota Wild supply complimentary tissues in the Press Box after Winnipeg went 4-0 against them this year. Feels like certain members in the pressbox covering the Wild are gonna need it this afternoon
