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.

Jets news:

The Athletic: NHL contract efficiency rankings: Grading every team in the league. (Paywall). The Jets improved from 25th in 2020-21 to 22nd in 2021-22. The bounce back of Josh Morrissey played a big role in that.

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.
