The Jets were established as the Atlanta Thrashers on June 25, 1997, and began play in the 1999–2000 NHL season. True North Sports & Entertainment then bought the team in May 2011 and relocated the franchise to Winnipeg prior to the 2011–12 season, making them the first NHL franchise to relocate since the Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997. The team was renamed the Jets after Winnipeg’s original WHA/NHL team, which relocated after the 1995–96 season due to financial issues to become the Phoenix (later Arizona) Coyotes. The Winnipeg Jets have been shuffled these few years, and recently their star goalie wants a trade. Though the Winnipeg Jets have been the favourite Canadian team to win it all over the last few years, it seems people are losing hope. What do you think, can they win?
