Note: We are now in the quiet stretch of time which silence may be broken with news of a signing of the remaining RFAs (Vilardi, Kupari, Stanley & Chisholm) as well as a potential free agent or two. Morgan Barron was the first as he agreed to a two-year deal on Monday. That leaves Gabe Vilardi as the lone player with an arbitration date.

Note II: Maybe you’ve got some mid summer questions? If so maybe Murat Ates of The Athletic Winnipeg might have some answers. He’s opening up his latest mailbag so if you’ve got one or two hit him here.

Jets news:

The Athletic: Ranking the top 50 drafted NHL prospects: Connor Bedard leads Scott Wheeler’s summer 2023 list. (Paywall). He has three Jets on his list being Colby Barlow (44), Rutger McGroarty (45) and Chaz Lucius (46) with honourable mentions for Ville Heinola and Brad Lambert.

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.
