Taking a look at the 2017 NHL Free Agency for the Winnipeg Jets

The Jets obviously have one of the best, if not, the best prospect pools in the league. Eventually they turn into players, and they are no longer prospects. Once this happens they only need one thing, and that is to win a cup. The only problem is that they can’t fill every single role with prospects, so free agency is where they look to add needed talent, and release unwanted, overpaid players.
First we’ll take a look to see whose contracts are expiring.
