Jets Star Could Eye Winnipeg Exit

The Winnipeg Jets were the best team in the NHL this past season, at least during the regular season. But once the playoffs came around, the Jets faltered and were knocked out in the second round by the Dallas Stars.

Winnipeg has a strong core group in place, but this team hasn't been able to get over the hump in the postseason. The team is also dealing with some potential contract extensions around key players, leading to more questions around the roster.

One of those players is veteran Kyle Connor, who has been a big piece to the puzzle for years. Connor has spent his entire career with the Jets, but there have been rumors about his future with the team.

Connor will be entering the final year of his current contract, and he has discussed an extension with the Jets. However, it does seem that the veteran could look to make a move elsewhere, and there may not be a push to get something done in Winnipeg.

According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the case of Connor isn't heavily trying to get something done with the Jets. Connor may prefer to enter free agency next summer to see what else is out there for him.
