The Winnipeg Jets have selected 10 players in the first round of the National Hockey League Entry Draft since their return to Winnipeg in 2011.

I am going to rank these 10 selections starting with number 10 being the worst and number one being the Jets’ best first-round draft pick. Let’s get started. 10 – Logan S

With the trade deadline now in the rearview mirror, there is no more external help on the way. The roster is now set and it’s up to them to get into the playoffs. After a poor performance over the weekend on back to back games, the Jets really need to pick up two points against the Capitals tonight. Here’s what they need to do to get the victory. Neutral Zone Speed The Jets struggled to score in the third period against the Sabres and it largely had to do with their neutral zone play. Buffalo fell into a passive forecheck and allowed the Jets to try and pass it through the middle of the ice. Winnipeg couldn’t connect and they could barely get the puck into the offensive zone. The Jets are a fast team, but it doesn’t matter how fast you can skate if the passes aren’t crisp and accurate. Jets didn't have a shot in the fi

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Kevin Cheveldayoff was far from the NHL’s busiest wheeler-dealer on trade-deadline day over the last decade, but he wouldn’t be accused of dereliction of duty, either. The Winnipeg ......

The odds were always pretty good that Trade Deadline Day, 2020 was going to be a little quieter for the Winnipeg Jets than the previous two were. Even though Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff dipped into the rental market in the past week to land both a forward (Cody Eakin) and a defenceman (Dylan DeMelo), putting his first-round pick in play the way he did to land Paul Stastny two years ago and Kevin Hayes 12 months ago was just not something the Jets were in a position to do this time. First off, from a fit standpoint, there wasn’t really a player available who screamed “come and get me!” the way Hayes did last year and Stastny c

Carl Hagelin scored twice against his former team, with T.J. Oshie giving the Caps the lead for good at 4-3 in the third period.
