The Winnipeg Jets Were Always Connor Hellebuyck

Summary

The Winnipeg Jets Were Always Connor Hellebuyck

Carolina beat the Winnipeg Jets 7-0 today and that's nine straight losses. Two seasons ago this team won the Presidents' Trophy. So was that ever Scott Arniel's system, or was the system always Connor Hellebuyck?

I break down the shorthanded goal that started it, Arniel's full NHL coaching record, what happened when Hellebuyck came back last season, and whether Kevin Cheveldayoff is the guy to build what comes next. The idea that Chevy moves up instead of out is my opinion from around Winnipeg, not a report. Take your goalie out of your team's best season. What's left?
