Note:  The day is finally here.  Free agency kicks off at 12 noon ET (11 am CT).  Of course with a number of big fish being traded on Wednesday and Stamkos re-signing in Tampa it may not prove quite as exciting but there will likely still be plenty of action for fans.  How active might your home team Winnipeg Jets be as they look to fill some spots in next season’ roster?

Note II:  Happy Canada Day!

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.
