Count on your fingers how many new players the Jets have for one. Bowman has a plan and the jets are putting in the effort to get there. Now they also have confidence! Just my opinion.

Bringing in Rick Bowness, and then addressing their locker room issues has been key. Adam Lowry was the perfect choice to wear the C, because he's a no-nonsense straight forward hard working guy that doesn't need to stand on the teeter-totter of scoring goals in order to make an impact. Reminds me a bit of Craig Conroy's Flames when they went to the cup. A team that was working together and willing to work hard.

Jets have the depth they haven't had since 2019 thanks to Chevy. Acquiring Niederreitter and Namestnikov for 2nd and 4th round picks last year was the start and then the haul he got for Dubois in June being Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupari have provided solid depth to the core that was already in place. Forwards are deep and the D pairings work well together, combine that with elite goaltending and buy in from everyone and you get these results. Jets absolutely should be viewed as serious contenders.

Not sure the Jets got owned by Vegas in round 1 like everyone seems to remember. They had a dominant win in game 1 and then lost in OT in game 2. I think if they had managed a 2-0 series lead going back to Winnipeg the end result could have been quite different. After losing game 3 is when players like Dubois and Wheeler slow quit on the season, and it's obvious now that unloading them was good for the culture. But it was mostly the same squad and they had the right system with less than 100% buy in. I'm glad Cheveldayoff saw what he had and ignored all the media narratives.

So the Pierre-Luc Dubois was traded to the Los Angeles Kings by the Winnipeg Jets for forwards Gabriel Vilardi (7 goals 15 points 18 games), Alex Iafallo (7 goals 17 points -32 games), and Rasmus Kupari (0 goals 1 point 15 points excellent PK player}, and a second-round pick (Montreal's) in the 2024 NHL Draft. All of these players fit into the system they are playing. Chevy has done a remarkable job. Resigning Nino Niederreiter for 3 more years, Vladislav Namestnikov for 2 more years, Mark Scheifele for 7 more years and Connor Vesinabuck for 7 more years. Remarkable work! Adam Lowry as the new captain who been great. They have the best 3rd line (Iafallo, Lowry and Appleton) in the leauge and they are killing it. Lastly this team hasn't allowed more than 3 goals against in 26 games! There's much more but...

1 point back of first in the central, 2 points back of first in the league.

I don't know if I can remember a year where the top 8 teams were all within 4 points of 1st place, though that might be because I haven't had much reason to care. It's a great year for hockey fans in Western Canada.

Are the Jets for real? Depends what criteria you judge them by. If you go by integrity and buy in to a system and adherence to the old adage that there is no “I” in team, they are top in the league. Winnipeg is a humble little city and this is a humble little team. None of the players have individual agendas, they all to a man play as part of a team and are 100% on board with their coaching staff. Each member of the ream is in the place they want to be in, geographically and psychologically. They are well poised to take on their challenges one at a time and they have a great next of the season ahead of them. It’s a great time to be a Jets fan.

I think this is for real. After watching interviews a lot, the big difference is their mentality. Lowry as a C has def. changed the locker room, its more of family vibe and they got this ‘I got your back You got my back’ mentality. Second is they have learned from last year’s slump, they are not getting to excited or relaxed with their results and standings, they take it one game at a time. And they don’t compare themselves to other teams just them and how to be better. And they seem to have less drama than last year. They seem to be playing all on the same page.
