When the Jets placed 2017 3rd rounder Johnny Kovacevic on waivers yesterday it wasn’t clear that the 6’5 mobile defenceman would clear waivers and it turned out that he didn’t as he has been claimed by Montreal according to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet.

Tough loss for the Jets organization who do not have a ton of organizational depth on the right side.

The Grimsby product had 11 goals and 19 assists in 62 games for the Moose last year. He also played four games with the Jets.

For folks who are unfamiliar with him check out this chat we had this summer:

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.
