Note:  Jets announced this morning that they have signed RFAs Adam Lowry and Joel Armia to two-year, one-way contracts.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  That was then, Wheeler ready for now.  (Paywall).  Plenty of optimism around the team as there will be more competition in the ranks and a veteran like Blake Wheeler is at the point in his career when he is thinking about winning now, not three or four years down the road.

Sportsnet:  Why NHL GMs need to say goodbye to the bridge contract.  Not specific to the Jets but with questions surrounding Jacob Trouba and the type of contract he may receive a good informative read.

Sportsnet:  Biggest move from every Canadian NHL team’s off-season.  A recap of the moves made by Winnipeg.

TSN: The Trouble with Trouba. (video)  With Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba still without a contract, That’s Hockey discusses where the restricted free agent fits in Winnipeg’s long-term plans.

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.
