A Finnish report from journalist Tommi Seppälä today had the Jets world buzzing. It spoke of a number of topics including regarding the Jets 2015 7th rounder as he waited for his chance to get back up to the NHL. Ironically it came out on the day that fans finally would see Niku Freed as it was confirmed this morning that he would play tonight in Montreal.
Saila Sotavalta, who is a Finnish Jets fan, has translated it for folks on this side of the pond. You can read her translation of Tommi’s report here.
