Note: The Jets are done. The Moose are done. We will still try to get you anything relevant to the pro hockey clubs of Manitoba during the next little bit. Of course the big focus is on the 2026 NHL Draft for which the Jets hold the 8th overall selection in just under two weeks time. We will be spending quite a bit of time learning about the players who could hear their name get called by Winnipeg. You can also check out our chat with Craig Button as it pertains to the pick here. We will be at the Jets Draft Party on Friday, June 26th doing a live first round broadcast so be sure you’re following along on our YouTube channel.
Note II: On what was the first day of the post-Stanley Cup portion of the season the Jets got one of their UFAs inked signing South Dakota’s Walker Duehr to a two-year contract extension. That means that Winnipeg is down from eight UFAs to six after they signed Walker and Cole Koepke before him back in mid April.
