Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  On Tuesday we released second update on the six Jets draft picks who are playing in the NCAA or the USHL.  You can read it here.

Note II:  While the number of Jets prospects overseas has been greatly reduced we learned last night that 2017 5th rounder Leon Gawanke continues to play in the DEL as he played on Tuesday night in Germany with his Eisbären squad.  Appears likely that he’d just return to North America for an AHL season with the Moose (which makes sense to me).

Note III:  There have been lots of things revealed in the last week and today it is expected that the NHL will release either parts or all of the 2020-21 schedule. Update:  You can see the entire 56 game schedule for Winnipeg here.
