Note: Free agency is grinding along and the Jets only announced one free agent signing on Friday with the signing of Manitoban Ashton Sautner. They did also get a prospect under contract agreeing to terms with Elias Salomonsson (2022 2nd rounder) on a three year ELC.
Note II: The Moose made a trio of signings including Nicholas Jones, Greg Meireles and Manitoban Dean Stewart. It wasn’t all good news for Manitoba as I broke the news that captain Jimmy Oligny suffered an injury training and is expected to be out until at least Christmas.
Note III: Reminder to join us today on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show starting at 9 AM as we recap the moves made by the Jets to date in free agency, continue to look at the roster composition and more.
