Jets news:
NHL.com: Barlow could fill future leadership role with Jets. It was clear as day that the Jets 2023 first rounder has the type of personality that screams leadership on and off the ice.
EP Rinkside: Is Gabriel Vilardi’s new deal with the Winnipeg Jets the same old story or a new status quo? (Paywall). The Jets are not a team that often signs guys to long-term deals at this point in their career. They’ve done it three times to date (Scheifele, Ehlers and Connor). Especially in this situation with the level of unfamiliarity between the two sides this two-year bridge makes sense and then they’ll have two more years before he hits UFA.
