Joel Armia is no stranger to the Winnipeg Jets. He spent three seasons with the Jets, which ended with a 13-game postseason run. The playoff run might've contributed to him leaving for the Canadiens, as he had just two goals in 13 games. Armia failed to live up to his regular season production, and the Jets moved on from him.

Armia's career has taken off in Montreal, including being a massive contributor in the Cinderella run in 2021. He has also been a mainstay with Team Finland, and will represent them again at the Four Nations Faceoff. Armia would return to Winnipeg for another playoff run as a more polished, experience forward than when he left, and it could be a comfortable fit.
