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 III: Reminder that the Illegal Curve Hockey Show are now on summer hiatus. Be sure to continue to follow along with our YouTube channel as we will continue to use it throughout the summer.
