Ken Wiebe, an acreditted writer for the Winnipeg Jets too the stage to voice his opinion on the growing fan concern.
I'll answer the first question this way. It will be difficult for the Jets to match last season's point total, but they could easily be in the 100-to-109 point range and still compete with the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche for the Central Division crown.
The more pressing matter for the Jets is trying to figure out the playoff portion of the equation. Qualifying for the playoffs isn't an easy task, but after consecutive early exits in the first round, the Jets need to show that they've learned from the disappointments and are ready to move forward.
Wiebe suggests that the Jets are still playoff contenders. But in order for the Jets to get over their first round playoff woes, they will need to make a huge trade a some point to bring in some high end talent.
