Blake Wheeler Power Forward

Winnipeg Free Press: More power to him. Could Wheeler become a 30 or 40 goal power forward for the Jets or is he destined to be another big man who fails to live up to his talent? Winnipeg Free Press: Jets still prowling for scoring punch. Get the Bogosian deal done and then hope that you can somehow, someway find a wee bit more scoring talent for this team somewhere, anywhere. Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg best fit for Jaffray. His familiarity with the city and the organization will be to his advantage as he won't have to acclimatize himself. Winnipeg Sun: He's a big Wheel. The Jets will have made a very good move if Wheeler can develop into the player he has the capability of becoming. More Jets news including why Winnipeg is a great sports city, a look back at Atlanta hockey, and news from 'Around the NHL' including Osgood's Hall of Fame credentials, Stamkos signs with Bolts, Stars losing $1 million a week and more after the jump. Winnipeg Sun: One great sports city. We must be glutton's for punishment when you look at that list of futility. MSNBC: What do Atlanta fans do now? Sounds to me that the Predators are still making a play for the disenfranchised Thrashers faithful. Around the NHL: Toronto Star: Leafs, Schenn set to begin talks on new contract. I'm guessing this is a deal Brian Burke can get done. TSN: Stamkos agrees to five-year, $37.5M contract with Lightning. His scoring has been unbelievable over the past two seasons and he's only 21. Good signing by GM Yzerman. Detroit Free Press: Osgood case for Hall of Fame a strong one. Back in 2009/10 when I did a Red Wings preview for IC, I wrote this about Osgood; The goaltending situation in the ‘D’ always seems to make fans nervous. Chris Osgood is the Rodney Dangerfield of hockey; he just can’t get ‘no respect’. Star-Ledger: Devils' hiring of Peter DeBoer. Looks like a good hire by the Devils. Will ask IC's Ezzy for his opinion. Dallas Morning News: Stars losing $1 million a week? Probably only on paper. Creative accounting can make a lot of things look good or bad.
