The Winnipeg Jets hit the ice for their first game of 2021 in the coming weeks. Here are three reasons to have hope in the Jets for the upcoming season.
While the Winnipeg Jets are competing in training camp with the season less than two weeks away there is a lot to look forward to in the upcoming campaign.
The Winnipeg Jets made some key additions this offseason, while also having some off-ice drama including players asking for trades. Regardless of all this, there are many reasons to look forward to watching the Jets in 2021.
As we count down the days to the start of the season and look at the Jets schedule and matchups, here are the top reasons Winnipeg Jets supporters should have hope in their team this year:
3. Depth
Now more than ever, roster depth is extremely important. With the ongoing pandemic and the 56-game season on the horizon for the Jets, the Jets will need every player on the roster to contribute for the team to be successful.
The Jets look to have a solid group of veteran players with some young players who can give the Jets a new-look lineup every night.
This gives the Jets coaching staff the option to give some of their players rest while still giving them good matchups all over the ice. This in turn will give the Jets a great shot to win every game.
It will be interesting to see how Paul Maurice and the coaching staff manage the lineup game in and game out but it is great to see the depth the Jets have for the new season, which should make them successful.
