Jets news:
Sportsnet: From demotion to impact player for Jets, Stenlund returns to Columbus as a new player. I remember speaking to him when he was with the Moose earlier this season and he spoke about how he knew the Jets were watching what he was doing in the AHL, which is another benefit to having the two teams within the same building. He clearly has embraced this opportunity to take the role of 4th line centre.

The Athletic: NHL trade deadline perfect fits: Proposals for Timo Meier, Jakob Chychrun and more. (Paywall). For the Jets they are saying James van Riemsdyk. They also list Vladislav Gavrikov as an alternative. They don’t see the Jets big game hunting.
