Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Kane would be wise to take what’s on table. Appears Kane is still mulling over the reported 6 year deal the Jets have offered. Should he take the money and run or is he doing the right thing by taking his time to make this decision?
Winnipeg Free Press: Payroll bound to rise by summer’s end. Being a basement spending team does not mean you cannot make the playoffs. It does bear noting that a number of teams (Sens, Preds, Yotes, Panthers & Blues) that spent approximately similar amounts to the Jets all made the post season.
Winnipeg Sun: Time changes for Jets. Those who have both Bombers and Jets tickets are not going to be happy that the games overlap.

Ottawa Sun: Alfie poised to become one of NHL’s best bargains. That is quite the bargain basement pricing for the Sens.
The Province: Canucks may have an interest in big Bjugstad. Will have to wait until after Doan signs (whenever that will be) to see what Vancouver will do with trading Luongo.
