Note: New Winnipeg Sun beat reporter Scott Billeck reached out to Patrik Laine’s agent Mike Liut and heard back from him on Sunday.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Patrik Laine comments a reminder of Jets’ vulnerability in RFA market. This was written on Saturday after Chris Johnston’s interview/article came out on Friday and as you can see from Scott’s tweet above, Laine’s agent Mike Liut has now commented about the situation. Still don’t see the Jets in a vulnerable position externally. I do think a big delay could set back their season.

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.
