Jets news:
Illegal Curve: Connor Hellebuyck filed for arbitration. The news broke in the evening on Wednesday and while some were concerned about that word “arbitration” the reality is it isn’t as ominous as it sounds.
Sportsnet: Jets focus on playoff push but keep eye on long-term future. There was zero chance this team could have another season of “growing pains” next year. While they aren’t going to mortgage the future for the chance at immediate success that reality isn’t too far away.
