Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: Day 3 of Jets Development Camp at our the IcePlex. Click here for a full listing of the schedule and roster.

Jets news:

TSN 1290 Winnipeg: Alzner probably looking for six years at market value from Winnipeg. (audio). TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger joins the Afternoon Ride to share details on the discussions between pending free agent defenceman Karl Alzner and the Winnipeg Jets, and Dreger shares why he thinks Bryan Elliott would be an ideal fit in net for the Jets.

TSN 1290 Winnipeg: Hard to say what Mason’s usage would be in Winnipeg. (audio). Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun joins the Afternoon Ride to discuss the Winnipeg Jets’ interest in Steve Mason, how Mason could fit in the Jets organizational depth, and other needs the Jets could address during free agency.

Winnipeg Sun: Connor, Roslovic eye full-time spots. Both players were certainly dynamic in the AHL last season as they got a chance to really develop rather than being rushed too quickly into the NHL.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets could go after Mason, Kulikov in free agency. The topic Jets fans have been discussing non-stop since the end of the season and which ramped up after the Entry Draft.

Winnipeg Free Press: Connor, Roslovic face uphill battle to earn full-time spots on Jets roster. (Paywall). Kids face a tough test and that isn’t a bad thing for an organization as a little time to marinate can only help in the long term.

Winnipeg Free Press: Homegrown goalie ready for takeoff. (Paywall). Plenty of interesting storylines during development camp and this is certainly one of them.

Sportsnet: 30 Thoughts. Numbers 13 (Jets goalies) and 14 (Jets potentially being in on Dmitry Kulikov as a left-handed option) are your Jets related tidbits.

TSN: Jets exploring goaltending options. (video). With their goalie woes last season, and a number of viable options in free agency, the Winnipeg Jets are exploring a few available goaltenders.

Illegal Curve: Development Camp Day 2. Hear from Jack Roslovic and Kyle Connor.

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.
