Note: Late on Wednesday night news broke on twitter that the Jets and Andrew Copp had agreed to a two-year deal bringing another Winnipeg RFA into the fold. I’m sure we will get a news release from the team at some point today.

Note II: While we are still awaiting confirmation of the Copp signing the Jets did lock up 2015 6th rounder Mason Appleton to a three-year ELC.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: 30 Thoughts. While there is nothing Jets related in numbers 1-30 of the final 30 Thoughts of the season, however he does reference Winnipeg in the preamble when it comes to teams mentioned by a GM who may have salary cap concerns in the near future.

Winnipeg Sun: Copp, Jets agree on two-year pact. Two RFAs down and two more to go.

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.
