Sean writes for Hockey Graphs and The Athletic Toronto and always provides great insight into hockey analytics.

Topic 1: Looking at the numbers with the projected roster how does he see the Jets for next season?

Topic 2:  Explaining the WAR statistic and what it tells you.

Topic 3:  Splitting up Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler to add depth to the Jets forward lines.

Topic 4:  The goalie tandem of Connor Hellebuyck and Laurent Brossoit.

Topic 5:  What UFA left shot defecneman Jake Gardiner can do for a hockey team like the Jets.

You can catch The Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN Radio 1290 every Saturday from 9 am until 11 am for the remainder of July before our August summer hiatus begins.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
