The Winnipeg Jets have a major contract question to settle with Kyle Connor by the end of this summer. Many may see the year left and feel it's not as urgent, but this is the most important decision the franchise has made thus far. Why is Kyle's contract so impactful on the direction of Winnipeg? Is there a wrong answer? What else do the Jets need to do after this deal? Is the power of friendship holding Winnipeg back at all, and if so, why? Do the Jets truly need to get tougher in the upcoming seasons, or is the toughness a mental question?
