Note:  With Neal Pionk signed and sealed on Sunday attention moves back to Andrew Copp who had his salary arbitration hearing early on Sunday.  The arbitrator award will be today and the number is in….2.28 AAV for the next two years.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Lowball offer, arbitration hearing not necessarily beginning of the end for Copp and Jets. (Paywall).  I was also a bit surprised that the two sides couldn’t avoid arbitration.  Will Copp break the trend of players who go to salary arbitration and shortly thereafter are no longer playing for that same squad?  Stay tuned to find out.

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.
