Jets news:

Sportsnet: Will Cheveldayoff trade a core player to add a first-rounder? Wieber with plenty for you to digest in his latest column including his very bold prediction at the end of it.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets stakes in potential franchise-changing trades are immense. (Paywall). Murat gives you the lay of the land on the most potentially transformational summer in Jets 2.0 history. 

Sportsnet: Can Kent Hughes find a way to steal the show? If you’re asking me why there is a Habs draft preview in the Jets link it is because at the end of the article writer Eric Engels outlines his thoughts on the Canadiens potentially acquiring Pierre-Luc Dubois. As I said on the IC Hockey Show this weekend, while fans might not like all the insiders leaking tidbits/speculating, it will likely benefit Winnipeg by helping to drive up the price Montreal is willing to pay.  

Global News: No hurry for Winnipeg Jets, Blake Wheeler to decide future. I suspect he will be the last of the four to be dealt with by the organization.
