3 BIG QUESTIONS
1. Paul Maurice Magic? – After taking over partway through last season, Paul Maurice took control of the team and finally gave them some direction. Is a full season of Maurice enough to direct them to the playoffs?
2. Legit Pavelec? – Ondrej Pavelec has had an up and down career and hasn’t shown the consistency of a true starter in this league. The Jets have their hopes pinned on him, so the pressure is on.
3. Where’s the Byf? – Dustin Byfuglien has taken a lot of criticism for not only his weight, but his lackluster play in his own zone. To that end, the plan is to play him up front this season, something he was not too keen on doing.
