Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  Reminder that we are back in business with the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg this Saturday as we switch to a two-hour show in July.  With the World Cup ongoing however we will be on a little later than normal so tune in at 11 am until 1 pm for the latest Jets and NHL talk.

Note II:  Breaking news this morning is the Jets have signed goalie Connor Hellebuyck to a six-year deal.  He is set to address the media this morning with Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff speaking later this afternoon.

ESPN:  The best contracts for every NHL team.  Further to the point made in the above article it isn’t difficult to figure out who Emily has as the Jets best contract.

Moose news:
