Winnipeg Sun: Ekholm trade the one to make for Jets’ GM Cheveldayoff. Another good read from Scott on what is ahead of the Jets with the trade deadline fast approaching next month. Is it time for the Jets to shoot their shot?
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets could be allowed live fans. (Paywall). The Jets email to season ticket holders this week didn’t seem to get much notice but I though it was significant when I saw that they mentioned fans for this season.
