It also seems that true to their non-mercenary, non-Golden-Knights management style, the Jets have no interest in acquiring a player like Meier just to flip him come summertime if he won’t sign.

Barbashev would be the most expensive of the three in terms of acquisition cost but all are reported to be available and won’t come for Meier-esque prices. He is a volume shooter, especially from the centre slot, and he’ll put himself through whatever punishment it takes to get multiple hacks and whacks at rebounds. You’ll hear him discussed as a play driver, meaning he has a positive impact on possession stats, but that doesn’t mean he’s a player who spends a ton of time with the puck on his stick. Niederreiter is under contract for this season and next at a cap hit of $4 million, meaning he’s not a pure rental. He gets to the low and centre slot time and time again, regardless of how much abuse he takes, and then he gets mad and gives those shots right back.

The Winnipeg Jets are coming off of a disappointing 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders. Every single game day we are going to provide you with some recommended bets while also showing the value behind placing said bets.

The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Winnipeg Jets, 5-1, on the road Friday night. Here are three takeaways from the victory.

The Avs didn’t allow a goal in the second or third periods after establishing a 4-1 lead in the first. The Avs are 3-for-25 on PP chances over their last nine games. What went wrong: Colorado gave up a goal early in the first period. “The more he’s involved in the defensive side of things, the better he is offensively,” coach Jared Bednar said earlier in the week. Then Bowen Byram skated into the slot and sent a rocket into goal. The Avalanche tallied four goals over the span of 11 minutes.

Perfetti sits third in rookie scoring with 30 points in 51 games.

David Gustafsson is still out with an upper-body injury, while top prospect Chaz Lucius will miss the rest of the season after requiring shoulder surgery while in the WHL.
