In only their 3rd year in existence, the Winnipeg Jets have gone from worst to first. After holding the 1st overall pick just some months ago, the Jets have turned things around and clinched the first ever division and conference titles in the history of the franchise. "This is clearly something we weren't expecting to happen. We were hoping to maybe sneak into the playoffs, but the team just continued to play well and continued to win. When we saw the team not falling back, we decided to take the next step and added Sundin and Morrow. Moving a guy like Carter or Hudler is going to hurt a few years down the road for us but we felt we had to make these moves now." It has yet to be seen if the Jets will be able to translate their regular season success into the playoffs. Should the Jets falter, the season is surely going to be deemed as a success.
