Note: We spoke with Jets management, prospects and staff throughout draft weekend and Development Camp, and we’ll continue turning the most newsworthy comments from those interviews into standalone stories in the coming weeks.
Note II: We took a closer look at why the Winnipeg Jets are so excited about Viggo Björck, including insight from Kevin Cheveldayoff and Mark Hillier on what made the Swedish centre the player they wanted with the 8th overall pick. Read that here.
Note III: Today is our last Illegal Curve Hockey Show of the season. Be sure to join us at 9 AM CT on our YouTube channel for the season finale as we chat for two hours about the NHL and AHL clubs of Winnipeg. We will be joined by voice of the Jets on TSN Dan Robertson.
Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Time to make a deal: exploring trade opportunities for Jets. The issue for Winnipeg acquiring a centre is that it works as a stop gap if neither Viggo Björck or Brayden Yager are ready for prime time next season but at the same time you don’t want a situation where you pay quite a bit for a one year stop gap. Massi doesn’t limit the discussion to just the guys up the middle exploring some winger options as well as one in net.
