At the start of the season, the Winnipeg Jets were a team without an identity. Were they a contender who could compete with the giants of the Central Division? Sure they’ve had Chicago’s number in their three meetings, but ultimately their record doesn’t reflect anything of a contender. Much more would be on the Jets status of being a hopeful team. They’re no longer a team that is in a rebuilding state, but at the same time not in a position to make the playoffs on around par play.
Now that the Jets have an identity, they can now find players to fit around them.
