The 2012-13 season was the second season of the Winnipeg Jets since the Atlanta Thrashers were purchased and moved to Winnipeg. On July 1, 2012 Cheveldayoff started his second year of building the franchise when the Free Agent season opened. Cheveldayoff had a successful career as a hockey executive. As an Assistant GM He won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2009-10. As a GM he also won two Calder Cups in the AHL in 2001-02 and 2007-08 and two Turner Cups in the IHL in 1997-98 and 1999-2000. So far the team he has built for Winnipeg remains consistently mediocre. There are four kinds of transactions that any General Manager can perform. They can 1) trade players, 2) re-sign existing players, 3) hire new players as free agents, and 4) claim unwanted players off waivers. The transaction season follows a July 1 to June 30 calendar. What follows is the transactions that Cheveldayoff performed in 2012-13. You will see that the ordinal value of each category is a continuation of what occurred from the previous season in 2011-12.

Winnipeg Jets Cumulative Trades Score 2011-2016

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Jets Trades
Player Trading is a useful way for NHL Teams to supplement and refresh their roster. It becomes possible to get rid of players that need a change and giving a fresh start to the players you get or build for the future. The Winnipeg Jets are known to be a team that makes very few trades. Since they arrived in Winnipeg, GM Cheveldayoff has made only 19 trades over five years. But how has the Winnipeg Jets fared with these trades? Are they winning or losing? This article attempts to answer that question. I have created a table that tracks each trade conducted by the Jets that compares traded players according to a very simple, transparent statistic called ProGames (ProGms). ProGames counts the number of NHL and AHL games that a traded player accumulates for their new team. NHL games played count as 1.0 ProGms while AHL games played count as 0.5 ProGms, and these are accumulated across both Regular Season and Playoff Games. So a traded player who plays 20 NHL and 10 AHL games for his new team will accumulate 25 ProGms for his team. So why just games played instead of points or other stats? Because not […]

Winnipeg Jets Height, Weight, and Age Rankings

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Hockey Stats
With the start of the NHL last night, there has been lots of team reviews including those tracking things like average Height, Weight, and Age of each team. You can find the league wide averages for the past few seasons here: https://jetsflightcontrol.docsurge.com/about-us/nhl-comparisons/ Here is the the averages for the Winnipeg Jets: Team Height HtRank Weight WtRank Age AgeRank Distance 2013-14 Winnipeg 74.0 2 207.2 5 26.5 28 Non-Qualify 2014-15 Winnipeg 73.9 2 206.70 4 26.7 27 Conf-Quart-Final 2015-16 Winnipeg 74.2 1 208.2 2 26.7 27 TBD Unfortunately, I don’t see these numbers for the Jets from the first two seasons. The Jets are a big, heavy team that is very young and appear to be on the upswing as they made the playoffs for the first time in 2014-15.

Winnipeg Jets Prospects Evaluation 2011 to 2015

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Jets Draft, Jets Improvement, Minor League Stats
In anticipation of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, I have prepared two posts that evaluate the cumulative draft and develop progress of the Winnipeg Jets. Drafting is the single best way for a sports franchise to build success so its not surprising that Winnipeg Jets Management has made draft and develop its central strategy. This post (and the one that preceded it) will break down how the Jets have done with their 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 draft picks up to the end of 2014-15 season (which is why this evaluation goes from 2011 to 2015). I have created a table that tracks each draft prospect taken by the Jets according to a very simple, transparent statistic called ProGames (ProGms). ProGames counts the number of NHL and AHL games that a drafted player accumulates for their new team. NHL games played count as 1.0 ProGms while AHL games played count as 0.5 ProGms, and these are accumulated across both Regular Season and Playoff Games. So a drafted player who plays 20 NHL and 10 AHL games for his new team will accumulate 25 ProGms for his team. While the goal of the draft is to have each draftee become an […]
