We found out yesterday the rules the NHL and NHLPA have put into place for having taxi squads until the NHL All-Star game and now we know the first player put on it for Winnipeg as the team announced Ville Heinola has been reassigned from the Manitoba Moose (AHL) to the taxi squad.

Heinola has had an excellent season with the Moose to date. In 20 games with Manitoba he has two goals and 12 assists and he has garnered a lot of praise from head coach Mark Morrison (listen here at 4:30 mark) and assistant coach Eric Dubois (listen here).

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.
