Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: After a wild Friday to open the first day of free agency things were a lot quieter on Saturday with the Jets announcing just three signings including veteran centre Nate Thompson to a one-year deal, RFA CJ Suess to a two-year deal and centre Dominic Toninato to a one-year deal.

Note II: Another pair of familiar faces are departing the organization as Cam Schilling left for the Capitals organization and Cody Eakin is off to Buffalo.

Note III: Another Duluth product is coming to the Jets organization as Darren Dreger reported that Winnipeg signed Derek Forbort to a one-year deal which the team has now confirmed.

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.
