Bob McKenzie speculated that the new model for the World Juniors in Canada would be one CHL city and one NHL city to try and maximize revenues.
2019 - Vancouver (NHL), Victoria (CHL)
2021 - Edmonton (NHL), Red Deer (CHL)
If Winnipeg bids, I suspect it will be a joint bid with Saskatoon. Since both cities have big arenas, I think the proposal would include at least 3 and maybe all 4 of Canada's round robin games in Saskatoon, while Winnipeg would get the elimination games/medal round (up to 3 Canadian games). This would entice individuals and companies to buy ticket packages in both cities. It's similar to how the games were arranged in Calgary and Edmonton's bid a few years ago - Edmonton had all of Canada's round robin games while Calgary received the elimination games.

Winnipeg is BOTH.
