Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Can he make the jumpKichton put in a marathon season in the AHL last year and it remains to be seen if he can make the jump in 2014-15 or if he will require a bit more AHL seasoning.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Wheeler says Kane unfairly picked on once again over lighthearted tweet.  Not really sure who was picking on Evander Kane for his now deleted tweet.  I didn’t have a problem with it.  I didn’t even really notice the media in this city pick it up and react with any significant umbrage (there were no local stories  on the tweet yesterday until after it was discussed at the skate).  Regardless, I think its a good lesson in why you can’t take social media too seriously.  As a fan you have to decide what you would prefer.  An athlete that is a robot who says the same old generic crap or one who actually shares his thoughts.  In this case neither Wheeler’s comment nor Kane’s tweet merited any special attention.  

Winnipeg Sun:  Wheeler is a leader and wants Kane to join him. The fact of the matter is this team could stand to have a room full of leaders and based on the level of competition they are set to face this season, all will be forced to step up big this year.

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.
