32 Thoughts Podcast: Elliotte Friedman indicates Paul Stastny wants to play with a contender

Today on the 32 Thoughts Podcast which was released following the Draft in Montreal insider Elliotte Friedman was going over some things to keep an eye on and mentioned Jets forward Paul Stastny who will be a UFA on July 13th.

“Paul Stastny, likely with a contender. Team that he thinks can win.”

Are the Jets a contender? Jury is still out on that.

Paul Stastny has less than a week to decide if he wants to spend another season in Manitoba or if he is all done after two full seasons and part of a third. Have to think that the noise about Blake Wheeler’s potential move would impact Stastny given how close the two are reported to be.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
