Jets news:
Sportsnet: Will Dubois or Hellebuyck be the first domino to fall? You had questions and Wieber gives you his answers in his latest mailbag column.
The Hockey News: The Jets can salvage their off-season mess. I’m sticking with my thought that they keep 55, deal 80 for sure, likely deal 37 and I’m not certain what happens with 26.
The Athletic NHL: LeBrun rumblings. At the end of his column he mentions that the teams “poking around on him” know that his camp is looking for “Vasilevskiy-esque money” and with Hill winning the championship with Vegas does that change the equation for a team not wanting to devote that much money to a goalie.
Sportsnet: 32 Thoughts Podcast (Friedman thinks Kings have leaned in “very hard” on Pierre-Luc Dubois). Check out this transcription of the podcast which was released on Friday. Interesting stuff on L.A.
Jets video:
Winnipeg Sports Talk: Could the Jets and Kings partner on a trade for Pierre-Luc Dubois? Andrew “Hustler” Paterson is joined by Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period. They discuss trade possibilities between the Winnipeg Jets and the Los Angeles Kings for Pierre-Luc Dubois (or Connor Hellebuyck, or Mark Scheifele).
