Jets news:

Sportsnet:  Kristian Vesalainen pick caps off quietly good draft week for Jets.  The Jets getting some praise for their work this past week.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets select Kristian Vesalainen with first-round pick.  Ted caught up with the newest Jets prospect after he heard his name called 24th overall by Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets get lesson in speed.  Scott was in Gimli yesterday and had a chance to catch up with a number of the Jets and Moose players who were up north supporting a good cause.

Winnipeg Free Press:  It’s déjà vu all over again as Jets pick big Finnish forward in first round.  (Paywall).  As I said last night I will likely butcher the spelling of his name but thankfully he has Laine in the spelling so that should make it easier.

TSN:  Jets take Finnish winger Vesalainen with 24th pick.  (Video).  Bit more on the Jets prospect.

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.
