As the NHL regular season rapidly approaches, Jets Latest takes an in depth look at some scenarios that could hinder the team next season.
The Winnipeg Jets were a front runner for the Presidents Trophy all season long. Although they fell short, the Jets fell victim to substantial injuries which contributed to an overall lack of success. Could this issue be a problem for the team moving forward?
A worse-case scenario would include long-term injuries to, or unexpected down seasons from, star players. Most of the Jets' stars have been fairly consistent throughout their careers and none are at risk of declining due to age yet, but a rough season for someone is always in the realm of possibility.
Injuries are something the team cannot control, but always threaten to disrupt chemistry or derail a campaign completely (Hellebuyck going down would likely do the latter.) The Jets do have a few players in Ehlers and Perfetti who, before last season, have had a hard time staying healthy.
Gabriel Vilardi and Kyle Connor both struggled with injuries as well. Although the Jets are predicted to place 3rd in the Central division, its not out of the realm of possibilities for a higher berth heading into the post season if the Jets can remain healthy all season long.
Will injuries plague the Winnipeg Jets yet again next season? Only time will tell.
