Elliotte Friedman talks Trouba and Wheeler on NHL Network

Last night on the NHL Network Elliotte Friedman spoke about the latest with Jacob Trouba contract talks and how drafting Patrik Laine may have complicated the situation for Winnipeg.  He also discussed the Jets selection of Blake Wheeler as captain and what it says about the City of Winnipeg.  The Jets talk starts with Trouba at the 2 minute mark and then rolls into the Wheeler discussion which goes until 4:51.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
