While the Sabres are likely thrilled with acquiring such a talented player, this trade could eventually go either way. The Jets did pick up a major piece in Tyler Myers in the deal and because of it, Winnipeg is unquestionably a better team in the here and now.

Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:21:41 +0000Jets: The Kids are Alrighthttp://www.hometownhockey.ca/hockey/HH0677.phphttp://www.hometownhockey.ca/hockey/HH0677.phpWhen it comes to the Winnipeg Jets, it is almost impossible to not smile when you look back at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship. On top of watching Team Canada bring home their first Gold at the tournament since 2009, Jets' fans were given the opportunity to watch six of their teams top prospects do their thing on the world stage and they had to have been thrilled with how things played out.

With their top four blueliners still out with injuries and Evander Kane now joining them on the sidelines, the Jets will be in tough to maintain their current playoff position. In spite of these challenges, Winnipeg has still managed to thold their own and currently sit in a three-way tie for sixth in the Western Conference.

Despite getting off to a slow start and having their blueline decimated by injury, the Jets have found a way to stay in the playoff race in the Western Conference. While it has truly been a team effort, much of the credit for their surprising play can be linked to the goaltending tandem of Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson, as well as head coach Paul Maurice.

The question arises: is a disastrous 2014 - 15 season probably the best possible thing that could happen to the Jets? And, is it by design?
