The Winnipeg Jets success in 2017-2018 was impressive and unexpected. Even most Jets optimists didn’t see the team finishing second in the whole league. But as with every team, there are reasons they could get better.
The Winnipeg Jets will have a tough road if they want to secure 114 points again. Maybe it won’t happen. They could still theoretically improve, but fail to reach the same record.
I don’t think fans particularly care about the whole ‘regular season points’ bit, as long as the Winnipeg Jets make the playoffs. It would be hard to see them missing it, but stranger things have happened.
But no team is perfect. Even those who have plenty of things break right. Everyone’s missing something. There are reasons any team can improve. I’m not going to sit here and tell you the Jets will have a better season in 2018-2019.
That would be foolish. I hope they have a better postseason. But for a regular season? Just make the playoffs. But hey, maybe they can be a powerhouse that wins 55 games.
We’re here to think about what would make a 120 point season something within reach. What would need to break right for that to happen for the Jets? It’s certainly possible, if not unlikely. Let’s find out what it would take.
Keep in mind that this will be the “Walt Disney Level Optimist” outlook for the Jets season. I don’t often wax poetic, but here we sit.
