Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets Notebook (Paywall). Can’t really expect the Jets players to say anything else about welcoming Burmistrov back into the fold.
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets practice the 3-on-3 overtime format (Paywall). Players like Blake Wheeler are already looking forward to the prospect of all that open ice.
Winnipeg Free Press: Scheifele comes back to training camp faster, stronger (Paywall). He came to his first camp weighing in around 175 lbs and has now hit 207 lbs. In the rough and tumble Western Conference those extra lbs should hold him in good stead.
Winnipeg Free Press: Hundreds line up for Jets fan fest (Paywall). Fans have really responded to this event.
Winnipeg Sun: Class in session for Jets. Plenty of time over the next couple of weeks to get ready.
Winnipeg Sun: Scheifele bulks up for new season. In addition to writing about the changes with the Jets first ever 1st round pick, Ted discusses learning the system, welcome back to Burmistrov, Kladno disconnection and around the horn.
Day 2 of Training Camp audio:
Illegal Curve: Coach Maurice. What stood out for him today? How much time can they devote to 3 on 3? Would he use three forwards? Using Ehlers with the veterans today. How much leeway does Ehlers get? What are the advantages of having Scheifele at 207? Expectations on Pavelec this season. Did it help Pavelec to have someone like Hutchinson pushing him? Welcoming Burmistrov back to the Jets. Update on MacWilliam.
