Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets talk with Free Press columnist Mike McIntyre. (Paywall). Sounds like Mike will be doing Q&A’s on a weekly basis with Jets fans and it should come as no surprise that many questions were related to Mark Scheifele, Jacob Trouba and the potential divide in the Jets dressing room.

Jets Official site: Samberg to return to school, excited to be a Jet one day. Lots of consternation from Jets fans as they worry that the left shot defenceman could use the NCAA loophole (becomes a UFA on August 15th, 2021) but I suspect he was looking to be part of history (three straight NCAA national titles) and perhaps bypassing the AHL (which is a mistake in my opinion). Samberg will continue to be a Jets prospect worth watching.

The Athletic Winnipeg: The six most pressing issues facing Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Jets in a difficult offseason. (Paywall). We’ve been talking about how it will be a busy summer for Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and Murat illustrates six tasks that will require his attention.

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.
