Winnipeg Jets head coach Rick Bowness said Wednesday there are good vibes among the team heading into this season.
Wheeler was put him on waivers June 30 to buy out his contract. The veteran forward signed a one-year deal the next day with the New York Rangers.Forward Adam Lowry was recently named the club’s new captain after he was one of the alternates last season with defenceman Josh Morrissey and top-line centre Mark Scheifele, who’s also a potential unrestricted free agent next summer.“I do know this, and this is the most important thing, is that all want to be Winnipeg Jets.
The Jets sat atop the Western Conference in mid-January last season before starting a slide. They only grabbed the second wild-card spot in Game 81 and finished 46-33-3.The team was hit by injuries before and during the playoffs to Morrissey, Scheifele and winger Nikolaj Ehlers. He did have a “good” meeting with Hellebuyck when the veteran netminder arrived in Winnipeg for camp.
