Winnipeg Jets Worst Case Scenario: Match-Up 2

If you have no clue what this is, you should probably check out the latest episode of the JetStream Podcast first. For those of you in know though, here is match-up number two of the “Winnipeg Jets Worst Case Scenario” showdown!

Yesterday we saw 'Trading Evander Kane' take a huge lead over a 'Good Year for Pavelec', and today we ask you what would be worse:

AHL-demotion worthy seasons from Jacob Trouba and Mark Scheifele

OR

A serious injury to one of Tobias Enstrom or Jacob Trouba

Brief introductions to each side of the debate were made during this week's episode of JetStream, but here's a quick reminder of some of the points made (both positive and negative) for each side:

AHL-Demotion Worthy Seasons

• Would have to raise questions as to what kind of (and how good of) a player Mark Scheifele really is
• Would start raising questions in regards to Chevy’s drafting ability
• Would create some concern around Jacob Trouba’s development
• Would create some huge holes in the lineup
• Could force Chevy into taking action and making beneficial moves to improve the team
• May result in increased chances of drafting higher and getting Connor McDavid

Serious Injury to Trouba or Enstrom

• Would create a gigantic hole in an already shaky defensive group
• Likely results in Pavelec having an even tougher time than usual
• Would cause some questions to be raised in regards to Trouba’s development
• Would generate ‘injury prone’ discussions about either player
• If early in the season, could result in rushing the development of Josh Morrissey
• Could also force Chevy into taking action and making beneficial moves to improve the defense
• May result in Byfuglien moving back to defense
• Could increase the chances of a tank, and therefore Connor McDavid
