Winnipeg Jets assign seven players to the Manitoba Moose; release two from PTOs

On day 8 of training camp the Jets added five players to the waiver wire this morning but they weren’t done there as this afternoon they sent seven players directly to their farm club.

The Manitoba Moose will now have these seven on the roster as these players don’t need to pass through waivers:

G – Mikhail Berdin
D – Declan Chisholm
D – Luke Green
D – Johnathan Kovacevic
F – Joona Luoto
F – Skyler McKenzie
F – Kristian Reichel

Additionally the Jets released Jimmy Oligny and Cole Kehler from PTOs.  Oligny is already on a one-year AHL deal with Manitoba which he signed back in July.  It is possible Kehler sticks around as the Moose currently do not have a backup for Berdin with Comrie likely destined to be on the Jets taxi squad.

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.
