Mark Scheifele

Saturday's Game 1 comeback win took patience, aggression and top-end talent from Winnipeg's biggest forward stars.

It took a lot more than a few players to give them a decisive 4-0 win over Dallas that brings them to the precipice of Winnipeg history.

Here's how Winnipeg is controlling the play at a higher level now than it did last season.

According to each player’s projected value over the remainder of their deals, these are the league’s 10 worst contracts.

The Jets are winless in their last six and have dropped to 44-24-6 on the season.

The Jets' optimal lineup is with Ehlers next to Scheifele but that has rarely been the default for the team.

Mark Scheifele has taken Cole Perfetti under his wing and the Winnipeg Jets are benefitting from the results.

The Jets center signed a seven-year, $59.5 million contract to remain in Winnipeg after a summer of speculation over where he'd land.

The Jets' extensions for Hellebuyck and Scheifele revealed a previously unusual strategy for the organization.

The identical deals will begin in the 2024-25 season.

Hellebuyck and Scheifele both knew the questions about their futures were coming as Jets camp opened Thursday.

The Jets' fortunes this season will still be set by their three best and most dynamic forwards.

Neither player has a contract for next season and they're expected to be in the Jets' lineup on opening night.

Which players will headline as the league’s biggest trade candidates in the upcoming 2023-24 season?

The Jets made a few signings on July 1 but the day's biggest news was still about Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.

The Jets did well with the Dubois return but the pressure is on to do the same with Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.

Bolstering the Capitals forward group figures to be a priority this summer, and they're going to have options in the trade market.

If he's unable to return and Winnipeg can't turn this series around, it's possible we've seen Scheifele play his last game in a Jets jersey.
