Note: With the Rangers getting eliminated last night by the Lightning it means the Jets 1st rounder that they received in the Andrew Copp trade (upgraded from a 2nd) will be 30th overall.
Note II: Last night the Seattle Thunderbirds forced a game 6 in their WHL Championship against the Oil Kings and they did it without team captain and Jets 2020 6th rounder Tyrel Bauer who was suspended for two games after this hit in game 4. I actually didn’t think it was a predatory hit. Just seemed like he braced for contact.
Jets news:
Sportsnet: Saturday Headlines. Last evening Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet was suggesting that there could be some clarity this week on the various coaching vacancies around the NHL.
Sportnet: Quick Shifts. Note 11 had to do with Kyle Connor and his winning the Lady Byng.
