Prognosticating the Winnipeg Jets 2014-15 season

With the 2014-15 season finally upon us I figured we should take a look at how the pundits, both local and national, are predicting how Winnipeg will do this season in the Western Conference.  In an incredibly tough Central division it isn’t all that surprising that many are thinking it is going to be a long year for Jets nation.

Here are some of those predictions:
