Imo doesnt mean they are staying
The contracts and term finalized if still wanted out or that was what was holding teams back. Hellebuyck didnt get Vasilevskiy money and Scheifele got Horvat money. Not bad deals
Will open up better trades if they still want out

Well i hope it works out….i think they overpaid Wheeler into retirement. These guys never took the team very far in the playoffs. No Cup yet either. Hopefully they get better as they age😄.Nobody wanted them and Winnipeg laid down top dollar for them.Hopefully no injuries
You have a better chance winning in Winnipeg than Toronto, that’s for sure!
What it means is the Jets have Hellebuyck and Scheifele signed long term but it doesn't mean they can't trade either of them.
For example:
if the New Jersey Devils want Connor Hellebuyck (hypothetically speaking) they would have to pay a lot more to get him i.e. Mercer, Marino, Schmid and a 1st round pick. That's what I would want for Hellebuyck regardless but it's a lot easier to command a high asking price when you have players signed with term as they now do with both Hellebuyck and Scheifele.
It's possible both remain with the Winnipeg Jets for the remainder of their careers.
In Chevy I Trust!!!
If they sold them off then jets eventually become a training team to re-establish former prospects or building prospects for teams that players want to go to.
Im a jets fan, im so thrilled. If you dont think this is a hometown discount in a place like Winnipeg (considering what dubois signed for in LA. The exact same AAV…) with how much the cap is set to go up…
…you gotta lay off the hooch…
Price signed for 10 mil, in MTL how long ago? Bobrovski was stealing 10 mil AAV from Florida up until the 3rd or 4th game of the playoffs last season… Bucky and Scheifele could have played serious hardball like Tkachuk and Johnny G did with Calgary…
Jets fans should be ecstatic honestly, but SO many seem to still want that rebuild so badly, they just can't move on and support this game plan moving forward… they will find a way to btch and moan about this for 8 years now… lmfao…
