Jets news:

Illegal Curve: Mark Scheifele with a shot to remember at his KidSport hockey camp. Over the weekend the Jets top centre went full Happy Gilmore at his camp.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Nothing but love for roommate lost to Jets.  (Paywall).  Missed this one yesterday as Jay talked to local NHLer Brett Howden about the Jets newest defenceman.

Sportsnet:  Rumoured Myers price tag overshadows Canucks’ pickup of Miller.  With the numbers being thrown around for Tyler Myers he won’t be wearing his number 57 in a Jets uniform next season.  They don’t call this silly season for nothing.
