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.
