Add Jets 2017 7th rounder Skyler McKenzie to the list of Winnipeg prospects heading overseas to start the 2020-21 season. The team has announced he has been loaned to EHC Freiburg of the DEL2. An interesting move as he becomes the Jets first North American prospect to start next season overseas.

The feisty Alberta product has played two seasons with the Jets AHL affiliate Manitoba since turning pro. He had nine goals and 15 assists in 58 games last season playing on the wing for the Moose on the 2nd or 3rd line.

Will be interesting to see if this has a domino effect on other North American based Jets prospects.

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.
