The THN.com Hot Seat series will wrap up during the 2023 NHL offseason with attention focused on the Winnipeg Jets. Over the past month, we've taken an in-depth look at the pressures on NHL players, coaches, general managers and team owners.

Divided alphabetically, we've identified three key players: one is under pressure to have a great new season to keep his position; the second is more stable and could face negative results; and the third is relatively stable and is expected to keep his position for a long time. Sometimes we look at four or five because they are connected in more than one category.

Winnipeg Jets situation:

Hot seat figures: team owner Mark Chipman and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff. After excelling early last season, the team slumped in the second half of the season, barely earning a playoff wildcard berth but losing to Las Vegas. The team's veteran players and fans are disgruntled and question whether Cheveldayoff is rebuilding.https://www.adidadszxfluxzone.com

Hot seat: center Mark Scheifele and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Will enter final year of contract, no sign of extension, could leave team. A trade may be considered before the trade deadline.

Cold bench: defenseman Josh Morris. Excellent last season, under contract for many years, and is a part of the team's future success.

Overall, the Winnipeg Jets face a major challenge this upcoming season and will need to excel on all fronts to meet team and fan expectations.
