Jets news:
Sportsnet: The value of acquiring NHL draft picks at the trade deadline. No doubt that whenever you can stockpile picks it could help out an organization in the long run.
ESPN: Jets still weighing options when it comes to Ladd. All eyes are on Winnipeg as the rest of the league waits and watches what the Jets are going to do with the captain.
Winnipeg Free Press: Ladd focuses on enjoying playing hockey while contract up in air. (Paywall). Was interesting to hear the captain say that this process dragging out has had the opposite effect on him and that he has been able to enjoy playing as we get closer to a resolution.
Winnipeg Sun: Traded man walking. This does have the feeling of an execution as we wait for that call from the Governor to either announce a stay of execution aka re-signing of Ladd (which seems unlikely) or no stay meaning he will be dealt before the deadline. While the third option of waiting till this summer technically is also an option I don’t see this as within the realm of possibility.
