Note: A somewhat surprising signing announcement by Winnipeg on Thursday morning as the team advised that they have signed Marko Dano to a one-year deal.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Can Winnipeg Jets return to 2018 form? Ken tries to assess whether the Jets can be a force next season.

NHL.com: Jets trade for Stastny, look to regain postseason form. Tim took a look at where the Jets stand ahead of the 2020-21 season including the acquisition of Paul Stastny, other key arrivals, key departures, players on the cusp, what they still need, fantasy focus and a projected lineup.

The Province: Jets’ depth can lean on Hellebuyck, but Canucks count on blue-line balance, speed. An interesting read on how Vancouver stacks up against Winnipeg.

Winnipeg Sun: Have your say on what the Winnipeg Jets should do heading into the 2020-21 season. This annual poll asks what fans think the Jets should do this upcoming season. Topics range from Patrik Laine to the Jets defence to Paul Maurice and a lot more.

The Athletic: Dustin Byfuglien update, Matt Dumba chatter, prospects and more. (Paywall). Nothing new in this article really as Russo basically transcribes his chat with Dustin Byfuglien’s agent Ben Hankinson. Hankinson called it a “longshot” if Byfuglien ever comes back and plays in the National Hockey League. If you don’t have a subscription you can listen to the podcast here.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jansen Harkins talks on-ice development, getting a dog and more. (Paywall). Who doesn’t like a story that involves a dog? Murat had a chance to chat with the Jets 2015 2nd rounder.

Jets audio:

TSN 1290 Winnipeg: Afternoon Ride. TSN’s Sara Orlesky joined the guys at the 21:41 mark to chat about the Jets.

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.
