One simple way to assess any team’s off-season, such as the Winnipeg Jets, is did they improve from last year.
On the face of it, the only real change made to the everyday lineup was the loss of Michael Frolik and the re-addition of Alexander Burmistrov; a swap that could be considered a wash, at best. Of course, there will be other changes. Nikolaj Ehlers and Nic Petan will fight for opening day spots in the lineup and the Jets appear to be ready to move away from Jim Slater.
That’s what makes this assessment, well, not so simple and why this year will be an interesting year for the Jets organization.
