Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Wanna trade centres? No problem for Jets’ Connor, Ehlers. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that both left wingers are comfortable playing with either Scheifele or Stastny.

Sportsnet: Ehlers getting early nod over Connor on Jets’ top line. The Jets have a hell of a 1-2 punch when it comes to their left wingers but to start the 2021 campaign the two will flip flop. But as Ehlers said yesterday he has had plenty of time during his time in Winnipeg with Scheifele and Wheeler.

Winnipeg Free Press: Snazzy skater Ehlers plans to shoot more. (Paywall). With the way he can shoot the puck it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets seeking back-end balance. (Paywall). It will be interesting to see the growth in this group from last year.

Winnipeg Free Press: Connor can’t complain. (Paywall). He can’t and won’t. No surprise that the talented winger is just putting his head down and continuing to work hard at his craft.

Global News: Jets forwards Kyle Connor and Nikolai Ehlers on trading places. This really feels like a missed opportunity for an Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd reference. Kelly wrote about the left winger swap.

theScore: 1 central question facing each Canadian NHL team. Good Friend of IC John Matisz writes about the questions facing the seven Canadian teams. The one regarding the Jets deals, not surprisingly, with the team D.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Chemistry issues, prospects rising and notes on all 42 players. (Paywall). Murat provides you with his detailed insight after four days of training camp.

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.
