Saturday Headlines: Latest on the Winnipeg Jets via Elliotte Friedman

Hasn’t been a lot of Jets news lately but via Elliotte Friedman there was this (starts at 1:41) tonight between periods of game 1 in the Stanley Cup Final as part of Saturday Headlines.

He indicated that Winnipeg “knows it’s going to have to listen on some of their key players” and then mentioned Hellebuyck, Scheifele and Dubois who all have one year left.

After mentioning the big three of Connor Hellebuyck, Mark Scheifele and Pierre-Luc Dubois he said:

“What I think the Jets have made very clear is this is not going to be a rebuild, they are not tearing it down and they are not starting over again. Obviously, there could be some futures as part of these trades if it happens, but they’ve got a lot of good players on term contracts and they wanna support them. So they’re looking for players, if they make these deals, that can help right away not just futures. This won’t be a rebuild.”

David Amber followed up saying “but the core could shake up”

Friedman replied “the core could definitely shake up”.

This is consistent with all other reporting to date.

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.
