Nope

No

If there’s one thing the past 2 years have shown me, it’s that the jets roster is not a playoff team in its current state. The issues are deeper than coaching, they’ve had serious locker room and culture issue for years. Until that changes I don’t see much success for the team.

They’re closer to being a rebuilder than a playoff team in my opinion.

Not with that bottom 6

Still a chance better then Dallas not better then Nashville so depends on what happens in the pacific

I mean all Winnipeg has to do to make the playoffs is trade Dillon for a forward of similar value and resign Paul Stastny. That fixes the bottom six forward group and they wouldn’t lose a step with Samberg and Heinola being NHL ready.

I'm firmly thinking maybe?.. lol

I think most teams in the Central got a little worse aside from Nashville but the Preds will need repeat seasons from their top 4 forwards (RyJo,Duch,FF,Gran) to have a similar or better season than last year.

I think the Jets look very same old same old, their top 6 should do fine, the bottom six is still an issue and huge question mark.
Is Appleton the Lowry whisperer? If Appleton and Lowry can have the same seasons as they did in the 20-21 season than yeah they might be a playoff team. I think the defense is serviceable enough to make the playoffs and obviously Helle needs a rebound season. If Lowry/Appleton/X have a good season, Helle rebounds and Wheeler doesn't fall off a cliff they could be a playoff team, staying healthy will be extremely important for this team as they don't have the depth especially with no Copp or Stastny, injuries to Scheifele, Dubois, Ehlers and Connor even for short stretches could sink this teams playoff chances quick, they just don't have the quality depth to withstand injuries to any of those guys for very long.

So I'm a maybe they can make the playoffs guy, they're not going very far with their top D pair as it currently is though.

I 100% agree with the trade Dillon for a F take. Stastny should be welcomed back, but I heard he was part of the locker room issues as well. I guess Im looking for the "new coach bump" and not the "associate coach lack of bump" they didnt get last year. Bucky needs to be special and a new defensive system would help
