Jets news:

Sportsnet:  Jets can’t afford to let Jacob Trouba push them around.  It was an interesting game of chicken played between the two sides in silence and it will be interesting to see what happens as we get closer and closer to that December 1st deadline.

Winnipeg Sun:  Nine forwards competing for two spots on Jets.  I broke out my abacus and the numbers don’t look very good for seven of those guys.  However it does translate well for fans who want to see the most competitive roster that this team has had to kick off an NHL season since the team came to Winnipeg in 2011-12.
