Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Baseball night in Winnipeg coming August 8th. Looks like Jets Assistant GM Craig Heisinger will be throwing out the first pitch and a number of other hockey related activities are planned for Shaw Park.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets announce Simmons as assistant general manager. He has been with the franchise since the start in Atlanta.

CBA news:

MLive.com: No progress in latest round of negotiations. Hopefully you don’t plan on spending your August long weekend waiting for a negotiation eureka moment, because it isn’t going to happen.

NHL news:

National Post: Canucks’ Ryan Kesler won’t be ready before December, agent says. The good news is Vancouver won’t be here until February so you will be able to see #17 lace em up. I guess that technically the above ‘good news’ could be viewed as ‘bad news’.

CBC: Tuukka Rask ready to be Bruins’ top goalie. All well and good but what are his views on Chik-Fil-A?

The Hockey News: Why the Northwest continues to be the NHL’s worst division. Perhaps sending the Jets there in 2013-14 wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

Sportsnet: ‘Trying like hell’ to move Islanders to Brooklyn. Could this be a move towards smaller, more intimate NHL arenas?

I was under the impression they wanted to send the Jets to the Central division. Not the Northwest.

They have Sean. I’m just suggesting that perhaps the Jets would be better served playing in a weaker division. Of course if those Oilers forwards start to gel it would be the mid 1980′s all over again.
