Level Flight Ep. 12: Dubois to Montreal Report, Ideal D Pairings, & Late Game Deployment Issues

After a five-game Winnipeg Jets’ road trip, Brian, Connor, and Elliott have no shortage of thoughts on how things shook out.

They kick off the episode with a brief discussion of the games in Toronto (0:40) and Ottawa (2:25) before diving into a few talking points about the matchups against the Flyers (4:09) and Predators (6:35).

Once they finished talking about the trip, they took a dive into the Pierre-Luc Dubois speculation (13:25) after the recent report that “nothing can change his mind” about staying long-term in Winnipeg. After some discussion about the speculation itself, the guys try to make sense of what may happen.

Diving back into recent game action, they turn their attention to recent player deployment (23:38) and discuss some interesting decisions regarding Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers, then turn their attention to some of the defensive pairings we saw in Nashville (31:22).

To wrap things up, they make a few very exciting announcements (47:55) about the next steps for the Level Flight Podcast.
