The Winnipeg Jets, like no one expected currently hold the best record in the entire NHL as we near the mid-way point of the season, and it appears they're ready to go all-in for a Stanley Cup.
With an elite goaltender and depth throughout their skating group, the Jets are in prime position to go all-in for a deep Stanley Cup run, and to do that they'll need to take a risk at the trade deadline.
With solid depth and star power on their forward group, the Jets are unlikely to chase a superstar forward, but instead a good, solid forward that can come in and contribute, and now Friedman has revealed the fit of Mathieu Joseph in Winnipeg.
The 26-year old winger has spent the last three seasons in Ottawa and is on pace for a career year in 2023-24, with 6 goals and 19 points through his first 27 games, and if the Jets are looking for a cheap option, he may just be the best one available.
