Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets taking time to build contenderThe Jets have been pretty consistent in their message since this team moved to Winnipeg.  They would build through the draft, develop players in their minor league system and through waiver acquisitions.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Oduya dealt for draft picksAs soon as word spread that the Jets had picked up Clitsome, and despite coach Noel’s suggestion that “you could never have enough defence” it was widely (and accurately) suspected that Oduya would not be a Winnipeg Jet last nightWhat wasn’t anticipated was that GM Cheveldayoff would be able to get a 2nd and 3rd round pick for the defenceman.

Edmonton Journal:  Huddy flying high with JetsThe longtime Oilers defenceman has done an excellent job with the younger players, like Zach Bogosian.  It pays that he can point to his 5 Stanley Cup rings as emphasis that he knows what he is talking about.

Winnipeg Sun:  SnapshotsLosses to poorer cousins costly.  Atrocious 3rd period stat.  2012 or 1980’s?  Oilers young and talented.  Khabby just wasn’t healthy enough.  Tough start for Oilers young goalie.  Edmonton’s neutral zone control.  Too much passing.  Burmistrov’s impressive 2nd period.  Buff’s hard work.  Cam Barker’s 60 tickets.  Penalties prove costly.  Good day for Chevy.

Winnipeg Sun:  Cheveldayoff shows faith, Jets put up a dudThe Jets GM job doesn’t get any easier now that the deadline for trades has passed.  He has a number of free agents that he needs to get signed and you won’t see the Jets GM taking any day offs in the near future.

Edmonton Sun:  Life good in Winnipeg fishbowlIt isn’t just good, it is great.  The madness that overtook this city yesterday as fans got psyched to experience the 1st trade deadline day that mattered is just one indicator of how hockey mad Winnipeg has become.

Winnipeg Sun:  Glass enjoys the perksIs it time to have a cookie bake off with Tanner Glass as a celebrity judge?

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

The Telegram:  Caps unaffected by trade deadlineIt wasn’t just a nervous time in Winnipeg.  Caps coach Keith McCambridge had to wait and see what might happen to his roster.  Interesting that they left behind Postma and Gagnon in Montreal.

Next opponent news – Florida Panthers:

Sun-Sentinel:  GM Tallon stands pat, happy with first place teamThe Panthers, who were big sellers last season, made minimal changes to their roster.  They sit 2 points up on the Jets in the division with 4 games in hand.
