Note: We are now in the quiet stretch of time which silence may be broken with news of a signing of the remaining RFAs (Vilardi, Barron, Stanley & Chisholm) as well as a potential free agent or two. We did learn courtesy of the NHLPA the arbitration dates scheduled for Gabe Vilardi and Morgan Barron.

Jets news:
Sportsnet: NHL’s Top 12 unsigned RFAs of 2023: Latest rumours, reports. Gabe Vilardi is mentioned in the sixth spot.
Daily Faceoff: Top five value NHL free agents still available for 2023-24. Former Jets forward Sam Gagner at the top of Steven’s list.
The Hockey News: Why haven’t the Jets moved Hellebuyck and Scheifele yet? Clearly the return isn’t in line with what GM Kevin Cheveldayoff wants for a Vezina winner and 40+ goal scorer.
