Day 2 Free Agency RecapJets sign Bitetto| Jets sign Letestu |

Note:  As you can see above it was a quieter day 2 of NHL Free Agency for the Jets as they added a few depth pieces to the organization with their Tuesday signings of Bitetto and Letestu.  Will they circle back and get something done with Ben Chiarot?  Will GM Kevin Cheveldayoff get started on his RFAs?  Stay tuned.
