Note: This is day 82 since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.

Note II:  Today is the deadline for the Jets to sign a trio of defensive draft picks including Jacob Cederholm (2016 4th round), Declan Chisholm (2018 5th round) and Giovanni Vallati (2018 5th round).  My guess is they will announce they’ve signed Chisholm to a three-year ELC. Stay tuned.  UpdateJets have signed Chisholm to a three-year ELC.

Note III:  For Jets fans who have questions about the local pro club or maybe NHL questions in general, Murat Ates and Ken Wiebe of The Athletic Winnipeg will be hosting a Q&A for their subscribers starting at 12 noon.  Ask away here.

The Athletic Winnipeg:  The road map for Declan Chisholm to become another late-round hit for Jets.  (Paywall – 30 day free option).  Ken takes a gander at the path this prospect could take to become another Jets drafting success story.

The Athletic Winnipeg:  Finding an NHL comparable for 10 of Winnipeg’s best prospects. (Paywall – 30 day free option).  In this exercise Murat picks out comparables for Ville Heinola, Dylan Samberg, David Gustafsson, Kristian Vesalainen, Leon Gawanke, Mikhail Berdin, Declan Chisholm, Nathan Smith, Johnathan Kovacevic and Henri Nikkanen.

Global News:  Blake Wheeler ‘heartbroken’ over racism in MinneapolisA brutal situation down south and the Jets captain who is a born and bred Minnesotan had some words to say about what is happening in his home state and elsewhere in the United States.

Jets video:

TSN:  Jets’ three goals in two minutes down Red Wings.  On December 10, the Jets looked like they were going to need some third period heroics to get past the Red Wings, so Blake Wheeler, Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine all scored within two minutes to close out the second. Copp joins Sara Orlesky to relive the offensive explosion.

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.
