WINNIPEG JETS
LAST SEASON: 43-26-13, 99 points. Lost to Anaheim Ducks in Western Conference quarterfinals.
COACH: Paul Maurice (18 NHL seasons, 521-495-99-86).
ADDED: LW Matt Fraser.
LOST: D Keaton Ellerby, RW Michael Frolik, LW T.J. Galiardi, C Eric O'Dell.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien, who are both scheduled to be unrestricted free agents after this season. General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has done an admirable job stockpiling prospects and creating salary cap space but no amount of money or young talent can adequately replace a top forward and a top defenseman for nothing.
