Video Description:
The Stanley Cup has been presented and we are less than a week away from the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft. There was some big news as the Jets have a deal in place with Winnipegger and three time Stanley Cup champion Jonathan Toews on a one-year deal. Nothing new on Nikolaj Ehlers as it is looking like he’s heading to free agency. As well a Jets prospect is heading back overseas and we are still awaiting word of the path another one will take.

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.
