Winnipeg Jets players who might see a performance dip next season
The Winnipeg Jets had a successful campaign last season, passing the 100-point mark in the Central Division. While they had a disappointing first-round exit, the club played well overall and delivered upon expectations.
3 Winnipeg Jets players whom might see their performance dip in the 2024-25 season:
The 31-year-old Namestnikov has become a somewhat of a journeyman at this point of his career. After spending time with several organizations prior to last season, he's seemed to have found a home in Winnipeg.
In just his first season with the Jets, he was able to get 37 points which was his second highest total so far in his career. Despite the encouraging display, there's a chance that Namestnikov could regress toward his career averages.
Connor has been one of the most effective players for the Winnipeg Jets over the last few seasons. However, injuries' have become a concern for the highly skilled winger. As such, it remains to be seen if last year's dip in production was just a blip on the radar or if Connor can still bounce back to the 80 to 90-point range.
If injuries persist, Connor might be trending downward. At 27 years old, there's plenty of reasons to believe that he can have his fourth consecutive 30-goal plus season.
Morrissey has been a revelation for the Jets over the past two NHL seasons. In 2022-23, he was able to set a new career high with 76 points. He followed that season up with a 69 point season in 2023-24.
Here's where it may get interesting. Morrissey's best total before his breakout was 37 points. With such a sudden spike in offence, it's easy to feel like a drop off could happen. Morrissey will have to continue his stellar performance to show that the last two seasons were indicators of his real potential.
