The Winnipeg Jets have a solid young core, as I have said time and again, but the NHL is cruel. Sometimes you just don’t get there.
Patrik Laine, Connor Hellebuyck, Kyle Connor, Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey make for a really good, young group. That’s a group that can get you to the Cup, especially when surrounded by good veterans, as they were this season. The only problem is, things don’t always work out the way you hope.
We’re going to have some examples of success and some that are cautionary tales.
