Insider Suggests What the Jets Need to Become a Contender
The Winnipeg Jets are currently on a bit of a hot streak, going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. The team can always be better, though and one insider suggests an addition to make Winnipeg a contender.
Nick Kypreos Makes a Suggestion to get the Jets to Contender Status
On a recent edition of Sportnet's Kyper and Bourne show, Nick Kypreos said the blueline needs to get bigger.
"When I look at the defense...I see talent in Neal Pionk, [Josh] Morrissey, [Dylan] DeMelo. I just don't see big. This is still, I still see big Buff somewhere in that uniform. And, is there thought about finding ways to make this blue line bigger?"

There is, of course, the six-foot-seven Logan Stanley. However, as Kypreos points out, he is still searching for a regular spot in the lineup.
"Dylan's there but, you know, Logan Stanley�s at six-seven and he can't find a regular situation there. Is there any talk that this blue line still is not big enough to compete in the West?"

Meanwhile, Sean Reynolds, who was a guest on the show, agreed a big top 4 defenceman would make the team better, but went even further.
"I think there should be talk about that. I think the vast majority of people will tell you that this team is probably a second-line center and a top-four big, rugged defenseman who can also move the puck away from being a true contender in the west. And I would, I would be in that group of people who think that."
