There has been plenty of speculation as to what the Jets were going to do about their goaltending situation with three goalies in camp. The goalie conundrum took a different path when the Jets chose to give Michael Hutchinson the start on Saturday instead of Ondrej Pavelec. Today we found out what the Jets plan to do moving forward:
Turns out my gut feeling about Ondrej Pavelec was wrong. Sources say the longtime #NHLJets starting goalie will be placed on waivers today

This is quite the move for the Jets organization who have stuck with the veteran Ondrej Pavelec the last few season but will instead be going with a youth movement in net this season with Connor Hellebuyck and Michael Hutchinson.
Update: As you likely know by now this was confirmed soon thereafter as the Jets included Pavelec in the list of eight players they re-assigned to the Manitoba Moose.
