After the busiest off season in Jets history, we are very excited about our new, younger core. After shipping out many of our veteran players, we set our playoff window back a few years (and may have set us up nicely for the race to McDavid
).
Starting in net, we added, arguably, the best young goalie in hockey. John Gibson has preformed tremendously in every league he has been a part of. He's a big game goalie with sky high potential, and we couldn't be happier to see what he can do in our crease.
Our defense is a lot younger, but it's still a group that can punish you with physical play, and has tremendous puck moving talent. Trouba and Dillon will do a lot of the heavy lifting, while guys like Ryan Ellis and Sami Vatanen will rack up the offensive numbers.
No team in the league will enjoy a 'night off' against our forward group. We added a lot of size up front (something pivotal in the huge Western conference), with a group of guys who love to play the body and can wear down opposing defenders. That said, we tried to build a dynamic, skilled and deep forward group, and we are very happy with our line up.
Phase 2 for us includes several high end prospects that should see the NHL in the near future including: William Nylander, Nikolaj Ehlers, Josh Morrissey, Nic Petan, Zack Phillips, Louis Leblanc, etc, and whoever we get with our 2015 1st, which should be a pretty good pick.
