Spring Cleaning – Winnipeg JetsThe Winnipeg Jets suffered one of the NHL's most dramatic declines during the 2025-26 season, missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs just one year after winning the Presidents' Trophy. After entering the year as one of the expected powers in the Central Division, Winnipeg collapsed under the weight of declining goaltending, a lack of secondary scoring, and an overwhelming dependence on its top line. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine what went wrong, the challenges of building in the Winnipeg market, and the difficult offseason awaiting General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Jets are eliminated from playoff contention on April 13, becoming the second consecutive Presidents' Trophy winner to miss the postseason the following year.[00:00:25] Neil and Vic revisit the preseason expectation that Winnipeg would join Colorado and Dallas among the Central Division's elite teams.[00:00:50] The departures of Nikolaj Ehlers and Mason Appleton weaken the forward group, while questions remain about how much Jonathan Toews can contribute after several years away from the NHL.[00:01:20] Winnipeg also enters the season needing more offense from its third and fourth lines to reduce the burden on Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor, and Gabriel Vilardi.[00:01:45] Toews is viewed as a potential leadership addition for a team believed to be close to Stanley Cup contention, while Connor Hellebuyck returns as the reigning Vezina Trophy and Hart Trophy winner.[00:02:00] The Jets' collapse is dramatic. Winnipeg finishes 34 points worse than the previous season, while its goal differential falls from plus-86 to minus-29.[00:02:25] After beginning the season 9-3-0, the Jets go 6-19-5 over their next 30 games, including four regulation losing streaks of at least three games.[00:02:50] An 0-7-4 stretch becomes the clearest sign that Winnipeg's season is spiraling out of control.[00:03:00] Hellebuyck's numbers fall sharply after his MVP season. His record drops from 47-12-3 to 23-23-11, while his goals-against average rises from 2.00 to 2.86 and his save percentage falls from .925 to .895.[00:03:30] Winnipeg becomes overwhelmingly dependent on its top line. Scheifele, Connor, and Vilardi account for 105 of the team's 231 goals, representing more than 45 percent of the offense.[00:04:00] The supporting cast fails to provide enough production. Cole Perfetti, Vladislav Namestnikov, Nino Niederreiter, Adam Lowry, and Alex Iafallo collectively fall from 77 goals to 46.[00:04:25] Free-agent signing Gustav Nyquist produces only one goal and 12 points in 51 games, making his season one of the organization's biggest disappointments.[00:04:45] Neil explains that injuries played a role, but the larger problem was the absence of meaningful secondary scoring throughout the lineup.[00:05:00] The discussion turns to the challenge of attracting free agents to Winnipeg. The weather, Canadian dollar, family considerations, and smaller market all complicate recruitment.[00:05:30] Despite those challenges, players who do join the Jets often speak highly of the organization and the city.[00:05:45] Cheveldayoff enters the 2026 NHL Draft with seven selections but no second-round pick after acquiring Luke Schenn from Pittsburgh.[00:06:00] Winnipeg owns two seventh-round picks, including one acquired from Buffalo in the Tanner Pearson trade.[00:06:15] The Jets project to have approximately $3.3 million in cap space before the July 1 reset.[00:06:30] Unrestricted free agents include Nyquist, Toews, Colin Miller, Jacob Bryson, and backup goaltender Eric Comrie.[00:06:50] Restricted free agents Cole Perfetti and Isak Rosén represent more important long-term decisions for the organization.[00:07:00] Neil expects Perfetti to be a priority but questions whether Winnipeg will retain Comrie, Toews, or Nyquist.[00:07:20] Cheveldayoff must find a way to add higher-end support players despite the difficulty of convincing free agents to sign in Winnipeg.[00:07:45] The Jets still possess a strong core that includes Scheifele, Hellebuyck, Connor, Josh Morrissey, and Neal Pionk.[00:08:00] Kyle Connor's new eight-year, $12 million-per-season contract provides another major long-term commitment from one of the franchise's top players.[00:08:20] Neil credits Cheveldayoff for successfully keeping several elite players in Winnipeg despite the market's disadvantages.[00:08:40] The episode concludes with a clear offseason priority: improve the team's depth and secondary scoring so the Jets are no longer dependent on one line and one goaltender to carry them back into the playoffs.
Mark Scheifele goes into the 2026-27 season 39 games shy of 1000, all in a Jets uniform. And just 23 points from surpassing Dale Hawerchuk's record.

In this episode of The Wheeler and Tyler Podcast, Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr tackle a truly wild Friday lineup, anchored by a bizarre local sports emergency: a Kane County Cougars tour bus was completely torched and destroyed right outside Winnipeg's Goldeyes stadium, allegedly by a 15-year-old arsonist. The guys unpack the madness and dive straight into the subtitle of the day, "The Wheels on The Bus Are Burnt." The tech and media blunders don't stop there. The duo laughs through a massive UK radio station glitch that accidentally announced the death of King Charles, only for the station to double down on the mistake by posting a heavily criticized AI-generated apology. They also discuss a viral, hard-hitting anti-AI advertisement taking Toronto by storm, Christopher Nolan's shocking revelation that he has never used email or owned a smartphone, and a Tennessee man who just won a massive $835,000 settlement after being wrongfully jailed over internet memes. From local updates like MPI's "Road Safety Strategy 2030" and a new RCMP mass emergency notification pilot project, to the latest sports recap—including the Montreal Canadiens stopping Carolina's win streak, Mark Scheifele's hat trick for Team Canada, and a rough night for the Goldeyes—this episode wraps up the week with pure, unadulterated Friday energy.
Not every member of the Winnipeg Jets are finished with on-ice hockey this season. Mark Scheifele, Gabriel Vilardi, and Dylan DeMelo have joined Team Canada in Switzerland. Do you know who else will be joining those players in Zurich? TSN play-by-play announcer Dan Robertson! He joins Cam & Jim to tee up the tournament, and give his thoughts on what the Winnipeg Jets need to do this off-season to make this past year a mirage. Plus, the guys go back to last week on Free-For-All Friday and reheat some of your missed hot takes on the text line for further discussion. All that and more on the latest edition of Jets at Noon.

Cam got an interesting off-air call after running out of time on Free-for-All Friday. Bob checked in with a different perspective, pushing back on the idea that a high first-round pick should be used in a win-now move. He pointed to names like Mark Scheifele, Jacob Trouba, and Nikolaj Ehlers -- players the Jets landed at 7th, 8th, and 9th overall -- and what they've meant to the organization. In his view, moving that kind of asset, even with short-term needs, is a risk that doesn't make sense. Cam and Jim dig into that debate and ask the bigger question -- do you hold the pick, or cash it in to try and take a step right now? The guys also welcome Jets prospect and Manitoba Moose forward Parker Ford to the show. He looks back on their play-in series win over Milwaukee and ahead to a best-of-five matchup with the top-seeded Grand Rapids Griffins, a series that has all the makings of a battle. Plus, the NHL has announced its Vezina Trophy nominees. Who made the cut, and who was left out? All that and more on today's edition of Jets at Noon. Learn more about your ad choices.

It was his best year personally as a professional as Mark Scheifele got to the 100 point (and beyond) mark becoming the first Jets 2.0 player to do so but the team's lack of success was a major disappointment. He spoke today about the season and looked ahead to next year.
The Winnipeg Jets defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on a night Josh Morrissey scored a goal and saved another and Mark Scheifele chipped in two more assists to move to 99 points for the season.
The Jets kick off this short homestand with a 4-1 defeat of the Golden Knights in a must-win game. While they didn't gain any ground on the Predators for the final wild card spot as Nashville also won, they didn't lose any ground either. Of course with just 11 games left they are running out of runway trailing by five points.It was a milestone game for Mark Scheifele as he was playing in his 950th game in a Winnipeg Jets uniform. That matches Thomas Steen for the most games ever played in a Jets uniform in Winnipeg. He also got his fourth ever Gordie Howe hat trick with a goal, assist and a fight.
Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds break down the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights, which included a Gordie Howe hat trick for Jets centre Mark Scheifele.
The Jets sweep their back-to-back set this weekend with today's 3-2 win over the Blues. Eric Comrie was excellent making 29 saves on 31 shots as he won his fifth straight game for Winnipeg. Mark Scheifele & Kyle Connor get their 31st while Haydn Fleury gets his first ever with Winnipeg.
And with that goal Mark Scheifele becomes the first player to score 200 at Canada Life Centre and more importantly he gives the Jets a 3-2 win over the Hawks in OT.
From 'Spits & Suds' (subscribe here): The Stars make it five in a row after Jake Oettinger stone walled Mark Scheifele on a breakaway and Thomas Harley scored the game winner in a 4-3 victory against the Winnipeg Jets. Host Gavin Spittle talks about the comments Glen Gulutzan made after the game and how the Stars are being more physical. Gavin goes through the scoring plays and talks about what stood out in the win. Gavin gives his thoughts on the Stars trade for Jeremie Poirier. Then he goes through tweets from the Sudsies.

The NHL's final four is now in place with the Hurricanes and Panthers in the East and the Oilers and Stars in the West. On today's Monday episode, Max and Laz break down both Conference Finals and make their Stanley Cup picks. Before that, the guys discuss an all-too-familiar Game 7 thumping for the Maple Leafs and the inevitable changes to come in Toronto, including potential destinations for pending UFA Mitch Marner. Plus, thoughts on the “ruthless”, defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, Mark Scheifele's valiant performance in the Jets' Game 6 loss to the Stars, and more. Hosts: Max Bultman and Mark LazerusExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris Flannery Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Toronto Maple Leafs were humiliated by a score of 6-1 in Game 7 by the Panthers, capping off a meek exit with back-to-back home losses by a combined score of 12-2. Auston Matthews called out the team’s lack of cohesion and effort, while Ray questions the accountability at the top. Florida’s energy and depth overwhelmed Toronto, with the Leafs’ bottom six offering little resistance. Joe Woll wasn’t to blame, but goaltending and mental resilience seemed to be lacking. Offseason questions loom large: Shanahan’s future, whether or not Marner or Tavares return and a team in need of serious reimagining. In the West, Dallas eliminated Winnipeg in emotional fashion, with Mark Scheifele being highly involved in the game, playing just hours after his father’s passing. The Oilers-Stars conference final rematch is set, a superb coaching matchup with both teams looking strong and storylines galore. Oilers have Ekholm still to return from injury and the Stars have some forwards who could still explode offensively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris says the Schenn hit on Scheifele was clean. Does reputation matter when the NHL looks at these situations? The physicality of playoff vs. regular season games.
