Note: Reminder it is going to be a busy July coming up for Illegal Curve as we conclude the 2021 season.  Our regular Illegal Curve Hockey Show will continue on Saturdays. In addition to these shows we will have three extra shows including one with a focus on the Seattle Expansion Draft on July 21st, the 1st round of the NHL Draft on July 23rd as well as a Free Agency Round Up show on July 28th.

Note II: Have a question about the Jets? Murat will be responding to some later in his Athletic mailbag later this week.

Jets news:

The Athletic Winnipeg: Andrew Copp trade could allow Jets to solve 3 problems in a single move. But at what cost? (Paywall). Killing three birds with one stone is quite the feat and Murat delves into that topic as the hockey talk picks back up after a summer lull.

Sportsnet: Jets off-season to-do list: Upgrading defence an urgent priority and more. Ken wrote about the Jets need to: 1) Finalize the protected list. 2) Figure out where things stand with Copp. 3) Upgrade the defence. 4) Decide if it’s short-term or longer-term for Pionk. 5) Hire a head coach for the Manitoba Moose.

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.
