Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: It remains a quiet time across the NHL but the Jets do have two remaining RFAs (Logan Stanley & Declan Chisholm) so we are expecting some news on that front eventually.

Note II: Former Jets defenceman Zach Redmond has retired from playing hockey but he will be staying in the game as he is joining the Buffalo Sabres as a player development coach.

Note III: We are still in the dogs days of summer but our off-season series of chats with Jets draft picks is about to kick off. We will be starting things off with 2022 3rd rounder Danny Zhilkin and 2021 1st rounder Chaz Lucius with more to come. Be sure you’re subscribing to our YouTube channel.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Cole Perfetti ready to pounce. (Paywall). Mike had a chance to catch up with the 2020 1st rounder who is looking to have a breakout season in 2023-24. And Winnipeg is going to need just that from him in order to ensure they can be a competitive squad.

The Hockey News: Who are the NHL’s best bottom-six forwards? Jacob has number 17 on his list.

The Fourth Period: Jets still open to moving star players. Nothing earth shattering in this article. They do suggest “discussions could pick up steam” around training camp but again is that really news at this point?

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.
