The Winnipeg Jets will be contenders in the S63 / S64 season because Slip McScruff will be on the third pair instead of playing all night long. He'll be an off ice champion of making sure everyone has fresh, warm towels and opening / closing the door for all line changes. In his 16th or 17th SHL season, he will still be throwing hits and getting sent to the box, but there will be a whole crop of young buck defensemen ready to cover his ass. If he takes a puck while blocking, he may break a brittle rib and then the Jets will be free of his deadweight but also motivated to win. Unfortunately, if he is still the captain at that point, he may throw out a hip when raising the cup. However, the medical technology in the far future may be good enough to keep him running at 75% capacity for 100% longer, in which case the Jets are screwed because he's never going away.
