TSN’s Craig Button joins Andrew “Hustler” Paterson on Winnipeg Sports Talk to break down the Winnipeg Jets’ 3-1 start to the season.
They discuss Winnipeg’s response after the opener, the impact of missing key players like Cole Perfetti, Dylan Samberg, and Adam Lowry, and why Button believes the Jets are a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.
The conversation covers Jonathan Toews’ return to form, Morgan Barron’s strong play, Vlad Namestnikov’s versatility, Gus Nyquist’s underrated addition, and how the Jets’ hockey IQ sets them apart. Craig also weighs in on Nashville’s struggles and Nikolaj Ehlers’ transition to Carolina.
