NHL hockey in the MTS Centre in Winnipeg was always going to be a balancing act: the Jets are already among the most expensive tickets in the League, but with one of the lowest payrolls. How much is that going to change in the next two years? How will the Winnipegers respond?

Enstrom is gone unless he takes a bargain contract. Myers as well. The Jets have been planning for these upcoming RFA's going forward, as well as more prospects ready to go. I don't see the major issue unless they pull a Edmonton.
