Afternoon Delight

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets to honour Rypien with helmet decal.  Very classy move.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets invite Aebicher, three others to camp.  Add four more to the roster for the Jets training camp, set to open this weekend.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Byfuglien passed breathalyzer, in town for camp.  An interesting development in this ongoing saga.

RLD Hockey:  Training camp battles – Eastern Conference.  Here is a look at what you can expect in all 15 training camps, including the Jets camp, with that insight provided by our own Richard Pollock.

After the jump find out if the Jets are going to overpay for potential and video highlights of the Sharks/Jets rookie game from last night.  In ‘Around the NHL’ news the KHL president says tragedy will bolster ties to NHL, Peter Sykora to Devils camp for tryout, speaking of the Devils it appears they could be heading for financial problems but courtesy of Gary Bettman’s foresight will have delayed this and a funny review of NHL 12.

Winnipeg Free Press:  We’ll be contenders – Pavelec.  Missed this one in today’s Morning papers, but Jets fans are going to like the moxy from the #1 tender on the team.  Will his play back up this talk?  Find out in a week’s time.

CBC:  30 Thoughts – Jets return.  From what I hear what some guys are being asked to pay, Friedman is absolutely correct.

The Province:  The Hennepin County Sheriff always gets his man – in this case Dustin Byfuglien.  This is an unfortunate cloud to hang over Big Buff as he starts with his new/old team.

the Score:  A tale of three RFA defencemen.  Will the Jets overpay for potential?   Hopefully we will have an answer before training camp begins on Saturday.

Game Replay:  Highlights between Sharks & Jets Rookies:

Around the NHL:

TSN:  KHL president says tragedy will bolster ties with NHL.  Let’s hope some good can come from this horrible event.

ESPN:  Peter Sykora to Devils’ camp on tryout. Doesn’t seem that long ago that he was a player who would have generated some excitement coming to camp and now he’s been relegated to attending for a “tryout”.

Globe and Mail:  Devils have time to get financial house in order.  This is one of those instances, that GB’s foresight can be thanked.

National Post:  Down Goes Brown’s NHL 12 review.  Always good for a laugh, even if they do take shots at Winnipeg and Buffalo.
