Jets news:

The Athletic Winnipeg: Fourteen Winnipeg Jets options with No. 14 pick in 2022 NHL Draft. (Paywall). When Jets fans aren’t engaged in #TrotzWatch they find themselves speculating who the local NHL club might select with the 14th overall pick in Montreal later this summer. Murat helps with that speculation giving you 14 names to consider.

Philly Hockey Now: Flyers to meet with Barry Trotz; can they woo him away from Winnipeg? I wouldn’t say it was surprising that he didn’t sign with the Jets after reportedly meeting with them a few days ago as it sounds like he is in no rush to make a decision and would want to hear what other offers are coming his way. At this point in his career he’s earned the right to pick the spot that is his best fit.

Illegal Curve Hockey: A look at the UFAs and RFAs for the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose this summer. Gonna be a very interesting summer for GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.

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.
