Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  Tune into Hustler & Lawless on TSN Radio 1290 from 4-6 pm as ICDrew takes over hosting duties.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Noel likes what he sees at development camp.  Coach Noel is sitting back and observing the young, future recruits.

TSN:  Tim Stapleton inks deal with KHL team.  He just tweeted that he is going to miss Winnipeg.  Interesting to note he wrote “wanted to be back?”.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Trouba’s a wee one in a family of big folks.  A lot of hope rests on his young shoulders.  Of course he should be quite the prize after he has the opportunity to mature his game in college.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Spending time in Winnipeg fuels Gregoire’s passion to become a Jet.  Playing for your re-born hometown team has to have special meaning for a player.  That and the hefty raise you would receive playing in the NHL ($925,000.00 ) vs. AHL ($70,000.00).

Winnipeg Sun:  Bigger is better, says Jets’ Bogosian.  Now that he has had a year to get acclimatized to the city, it is time for him to show fans his true potential next season.

Winnipeg Sun:  Prospect of playing for Jets thrills Gregoire.  He is bigger and more polished than he was at this time last year and that can only be a good thing for the local kid.

Winnipeg Sun:  Undrafted players hoping for shot with Jets. Everyone likes to cheer on the longshots, and there are a number of those at development camp right now.

NHL news:

TSN:  Six NHL teams on Nash’s list; none are Canadian.  Rick Nash says “I don’t think so Canada”.

Washington Post:  Olie Kolzig sounds off about NHL labor situations.  Good to hear Kolzig unafraid to speak his mind.

CBC:  Former Habs GM Gauthier to work with Blackhawks.  I wonder if speaking french is a requirement in Chicago?

The Province:  Shane Doan holding out hope for Coyotes.  Even at 35, and 36 in October, he could be a great piece of the puzzle for the Canucks.  Some serious grit to that roster.
