Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets are in offseason mode but is there really ever an offseason? If there is any news we will have it for you here.

Note II: The Moose are also now in offseason mode. We did almost 20 interviews eight days ago to conclude the Moose season. Lots of good stuff from Jets prospects (see below). We will wrap up the season on Thursday at 3 PM with an end of season Moose recap show.

Note III: To date they’ve released Jimmy Oligny (watch here), head coach Mark Morrison (watch here), Evan Polei & Cole Maier (watch here), Dominic Toninato (watch here), Oskari Salminen (watch here), Ville Heinola (watch here), Arvid Holm (watch here), Simon Lundmark (watch here), Henri Nikkanen (watch here), Daniel Torgersson (watch here), Tyrel Bauer (watch here), Nicholas Jones (watch here) and Kristian Reichel (watch here).

Jets news:

Global News: Jets, Leafs fans have plenty in common this off-season. Let’s hope Jesse Pollock isn’t seeing that headline or he may take issue with Kelly however the focus of this piece is have the cores of these two clubs run their course and require changes.

The Athletic Winnipeg: NHL offseason trade board: What we’re hearing about Jets stars, Leafs’ Core 4 and other targets. (Paywall). Michael Russo and Eric Duhatschek teamed up for this article. They think if Hellebuyck is available then Buffalo and/or New Jersey are the teams to take big swings. With the usual speculation about Wheeler, Dubois and Scheifele thrown in for good measure.

Jets audio:

Dobber Prospects: The Road to the Memorial Cup, CHL prospects standing out. This is from six days ago (prior to game 1 between Winnipeg and Seattle but thanks to ShotDisturber for heads up) but they spend some time talking about Jets 2022 1st rounder Brad Lambert (starting at 4:27 mark). Peter Harling and Victor Nuno take a good cop/bad cop approach on him. They look at things regarding Fantasy Hockey Scouting of NHL prospects.
