How Winnipeg Jets can win their first Stanley Cup

 The Winnipeg Jets are a borderline playoff team right now, but if they want to win a Stanley Cup, they will need to make a few changes. This is how I would turn the Winnipeg Jets into a Stanley Cup caliber team. 

Before the 2021 Draft, two trades are made:

Winnipeg Jets trade Paul Stastny to the Detroit Red Wings for 3rd rd pick '21.

The Jets don't need Paul Stastny anymore because they intend on playing Pierre Luc Dubois at center for the upcoming season.

The Jets also trade Mathieu Perreault, Derek Forbort, Trevor Lewis to the Calgary Flames for Joakim Nordstrom, Brett Ritchie, 4th rd pick '22.

Winnipeg bulks up with the additions of Joakim Nordstrom and Brett Ritchie, and they get a 4th round pick as well.


Winnipeg Jets lose Dylan DeMelo to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.


2021 draft

18-Corson Ceulemans

50-Sean Behrens

82-Shai Buium

95-Kalle Vaisanen

The Winnipeg Jets greatly bolster their defense with the additions of Ceulemans, Behrens, and Buium.


Winnipeg Jets re-sign a few players:

Neal Pionk-6yrs/5.2M per

Andrew Copp-5yrs/3.25M per

Tucker Poolman-3yrs/2.5M per

Logan Stanley-2yrs/2M per

Laurent Brossoit-2yrs/1.5M per

Joakim Nordstrom-2yrs/950k per

Brett Richie-2yrs/900k per

Nate Thompson-1yr/700k


Winnipeg Jets re-sign all RFAs


Winnipeg Jets make two free-agent signings:

Jamie Oleksiak-3yrs/3.5M per

Cody Ceci-1yr/1.75M 


The Winnipeg Jets make the playoffs in the 2021-22 season, but get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.


Before the 2022 draft, the Winnipeg Jets make two major trades:


Winnnipeg Jets trade Pierre Luc Dubois to the Montreal Canadiens for Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Artturi Lehkonen, 1st round pick '22.

This trade makes the Montreal Canadiens strong at center and turns them into an instant contender.


The Jets also trade Nikolaj Ehlers to the Boston Bruins for Jake DeBrusk, Jack Studnicka, 1st round pick '22.

The Bruins get a shift winger to play alongside David Krejci, while the Jets get to retool a little bit.


2022 draft

14-Seamus Casey

18-Cruz Luciuz

22-Ivan Miroshichenko

The Winnipeg Jets draft Seamus Casey, Cruz Lucius, and Ivan Miroshichenko, three terrific prospects that should be a huge part of the teams' future.


Winnipeg Jets re-sign a few players:

Jack Studnicka-3yrs/1.5M per

Cody Ceci-1yr/1.7M


Winnipeg Jets re-sign all RFAs


Winnipeg Jets sign Johan Larsson, Nick Cousins to a 2 yr deal worth 1.5M per season.


The Winnipeg Jets have a terrific regular season but lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs in the 2022-23 season.


Before the 2023 draft, two major trades are made:

Winnipeg Jets trade Blake Wheeler to the Buffalo Sabres for Rasmus Asplund, Matej Pekar, 1st round pick '23.

The Buffalo Sabres get Blake Wheeler, a veteran player, who can help mentor Buffalo's young players.

The Jets also trade Jake DeBrusk, Artturi Lehkonen to the Edmonton Oilers for Ethan Bear, Cooper Marody, 3rd rd pick '23.

The Jets grab some prospects from the Oilers that weren't be used for DeBrusk and Lehkonen, two players who were going to be free agents.


The Winnipeg Jets have the Sabres 1st round pick, which was originally 10th overall; however, they get lucky in the lottery and land the 2nd pick in the draft.


2023 draft

2-Matvei Michkov

25-Gracyn Sawchyn

The Winnipeg Jets get Matvei Michkov, the best pure goal scorer available in the draft since Alex Ovechkin.


Winnipeg Jets re-sign a few players:

Jesperi Kotkaniemi-5yrs/5.2M per

Cole Perfetti-3yrs/4.5M per

Ville Heinola-3yrs/3M per

Rasmus Asplund-2yrs/2M per

Tyler Benson-2yrs/900k per

Cooper Marody-2yrs/900k per

Matej Pekar-2yrs/800k per


Winnipeg Jets re-sign all RFAs


Antony Stolarz-2yrs/1M per


The Winnipeg Jets take a step back in the 2023-24 season and lose in the first round of the playoffs.


After the season, one major trade is made:

Winnipeg Jets trade Neal Pionk, 1st rd pick '24 to the Philadelphia Flyers for Travis Konecny, Morgan Frost.

This is a win-win trade for both teams because the Flyers get a Right defenseman to paid with Ivan Provorov and a 1st round pick, while the Jets get Travis Konecny, a top 6 winger, who got lost in the shuffle in Philly and Morgan Frost.


Winnipeg Jets re-sign a few players:

Mark Scheifele-8yrs/9.5M per

Connor Hellebuyck-7yrs/8M per

Corson Ceulemans-6yrs/4.5M per

Ethan Bear-3yrs/2.75M per

Morgan Frost-2yrs/1.8M per


Winnipeg Jets re-sign all RFAs


The Winnipeg Jets win the Stanley Cup in the 2024-25 season.


By the 2025-26 season, the Winnipeg Jets have built a frightening team.


2025-26 Winnipeg Jets

K.Connor-M.Scheifele-C.Lucius

I.Miroshichenko-C.Perfetti-T.Konecny

R.Asplund-J.Kotkaniemi-M.Frost

A.Copp-A.Lowry-J.Studnicka

V.Heinola-C.Ceulemans

J.Morrissey-S.Casey

S.Behrens-E.Bear

C.Hellebuyck

A.Stolarz

Non Roster players: M.Michkov, G.Sawchyn, C.Marody, S.Buium, K.Vasainen, M.Pekar



The Winnipeg Jets have already won a Stanley cup and could win more after Matvei Michkov joins the team.

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well.

Vancouver Canucks won the Pacific Divison title and managed to defeat Nashville in 7 games even though they were playing without Thatcher Demko and moved onto to play the Edmonton Oilers in the second round, but they would ultimately fall short in Game 7.
