Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: This is day 28 since the NHL and AHL hit the pause button on their respective 2019-20 seasons.

Note II:  Quite the Tuesday in Jets land which began with news that the Jets had signed 2017 2nd rounder Dylan Samberg to a three-year ELC.  That was followed by a Josh Morrissey video conference call, a Dylan Samberg video conference call and ended with a Kevin Cheveldayoff phone conference call.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Chevy not shutting down engines, yet. Paul recaps the conference call the Jets GM held on Tuesday afternoon.

Winnipeg Sun: Morrissey ‘on board’ for neutral site games. While Morrissey would prefer the games to be played in Winnipeg in order to award a Stanley Cup I suspect players would be happy playing just about anywhere.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Like rest of hockey world, Chevy in neutral, waiting for light to change.  (Paywall).  Work must continue even if it is being done remotely.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Samberg feels time is right to make jump to Jets.  (Paywall).  Given the number of players from the University of Minnesota-Duluth turning pro next season it is probably as good a time as any.
