Note:  Jets handed out some new numbers today including for Connor Hellebuyck who has the support of the Snyder family to wear #37.

Jets news:

Today’s Slapshot:  Darren Dreger refutes Jacob Trouba rumour.  TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger made an appearance on Hustler and Lawless today and the chat was transcribed here.  Includes both sides not negotiating via media, dispelling rumours and the Jets being in a good position.

Today’s Slapshot:  ‘Level of excitement is certainly palpable’ in Winnipeg.  Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was on SiriusXM NHL and his chat was transcribed here.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Connor confident in his own ability.  (Paywall).  While most eyes are on the prize from Finland there is a kid from Michigan who will be in camp and did wow the NCAA world last season who should merit some attention as well.

Sportsnet: Where does Laine fit in with the Jets?  (Video).  Finnish hockey legend Teemu Selanne joins Sean Reynolds to talk about Patrik Laine and the adjustment to stardom in the NHL.

Jets official site:  Laine handling high expectations.  He seems like a pretty chill individual so not getting too worried about the pressure that is gonna hit come end of September isn’t too surprising.

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.
