Ken Wiebe

From Mark Scheifele’s future to Kyle Connor’s Lady Byng bid, Sportsnet’s Ken Wiebe answers reader questions in his March mailbag.

He’s a hockey lifer, a guy who has essentially seen and done it all, outside of getting his name engraved on the Stanley Cup.

In this week’s edition of Wiebe’s World, a spotlight on Trevor Zegras and how he perfected “The Michigan” move, whether the Nikolaj Ehlers injury could spark a trade by the Winnipeg Jets, and more.

Winnipeg Jets forward Sam Gagner’s spectacular and occasionally meandering path to 1,000 NHL games has been lengthy, and it’s one the 33-year-old takes great pride in.

It’s the conviction with which St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong operates with that could make him the individual who has the biggest impact on the NHL trade deadline in the weeks leading up to Mar. 3.

On this week’s edition of Wiebe’s World: a deep dive into Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson’s long-term goals and strategy with the club, the St. Louis Blues’ recent moves, and the Arizona Coyotes’ admirable transparency.

A 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights brought the Winnipeg Jets’ season to a crashing halt, but the hard work is just beginning.

Nearly a month after the Winnipeg Jets’ playoff exit, GM Kevin Cheveldayoff probably has a better indication of what direction the team’s key pieces are leaning toward when it comes to their futures. If a deal were to be made in the off-season, the Carolina Hurricanes could be a natural trade partner.

Andrew Brunette knows how the Predators do business and he’s highly familiar with the market, as an original member of that first expansion team. He’s watched the city and the market grow into an excellent sports town, one that’s passionate about hockey.

Uncertainties aside, what we know for sure about the Winnipeg Jets is they are planning to compete and not rebuild. Ken Wiebe explores some important questions for the team ahead of training camp.
