Note: The Jets to do list has narrowed to just two RFAs left being David Gustafsson and Mason Appleton (who has an arbitration hearing scheduled for August 11th).
Note II: While the Illegal Curve Hockey Show is on hiatus we will still have some features for you on our YouTube channel throughout August. Today we will post my chat from Wednesday with Jeff Malott, who signed his second contract with the Jets. It should be up by 10:00 AM and you’ll be able to watch it on our YouTube channel.
