Note: We are now in the quiet stretch of time which silence may be broke with news of a signing of the remaining RFAs (Vilardi, Barron, Stanley & Chisholm) as well as a potential free agent or two. We did learn courtesy of the NHLPA the arbitration dates scheduled for Gabe Vilardi and Morgan Barron.

Note II: The Moose confirmed on Monday the signing of former forward/Jets draft pick CJ Suess to a two-year deal. It wasn’t “breaking news” as his agency had already reported the deal being in place last week.

Note III: Somehow I totally missed the news last week that the Sharks had signed former Jets prospect/Moose defenceman Leon Gawanke to a one-year, two-way contract.

Jets news:

TSN: Contract question complicates Hellebuyck trade. There’s always going to be a degree of risk committing to a 30-year old goalie, even one as good as the perennial Vezina contender (and past winner). Maybe a short-term deal can get done at a higher dollar value but there doesn’t seem to be much appetite right now for any sort of deal.

TSN: Pats GM, former Sens and Jets coach Paddock announces retirement. It was quite the career for the Manitoba product and former Jets 1.0 coach who decided to retire.

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.
