Note:  After we detailed the players that were saying goodbye to the Jets and Moose next season the organization got an infusion of players on Tuesday after the Jets announced they had signed 2017 7th rounder Skylar McKenzie to a three-year ELC and then the Moose announced that they had signed seven players.

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.
