The Winnipeg Jets want to compete for the Stanley Cup next season and, after a very painful playoff loss against the Dallas Stars, the team’s front office has started making the necessary moves to remain contenders.

The Jets had an impressive start last season with 14 wins in their first 15 games, which was a record in NHL history. However, they were unable to take the next big step despite holding the best record in the Western Conference.

The prestigious Presidents’ Trophy left a bittersweet feeling in Winnipeg, as the expectations it created were sky-high. Now, it’s time for the team to stay the course and fight to bring a championship to the city.
