Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Prospect signs with KHL. A shame in the sense that Kulda added a good amount of defensive depth for the Jets. Remember they used 13 different defencemen last season, so depth on the blue line is never a bad thing.
Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:
The Telegram: Resetting the defence. Lots of different looks for this position next season. One thing that is certain, is with the departure of Kulda and expectations that Postma will be with the big club, there is plenty of opportunity for someone to become the face of this defensive core.
