Note: It remains a quiet time across the NHL and the Jets have just one RFA (Declan Chisholm) remaining to be signed.

Note II: We are still in the dogs days of summer but our off-season series of chats with Jets draft picks has gotten underway. We posted our chat with 2022 3rd rounder Danny Zhilkin (watch it here) and 2021 1st rounder Chaz Lucius (watch it here). Be sure you’re subscribing to our YouTube channel.

Note III: There was some big affiliate news on Friday as the Jets announced that they and the Moose have entered into an affiliation with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL for the 2023-24 season.

Jets news:

The Hockey News: Six long-term contracts that have aged wonderfully. In retrospect wouldn’t the Jets love to have signed him to an eight-year deal so they could have not had to deal with his being a free agent after next season. Of course that could be another team’s problem. However the point of Connor Hellebuyck’s inclusion in this article is about how good the deal is today.

ECHL news:

The Virginian-Pilot: Norfolk Admirals land affiliation with NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, AHL’s Manitoba Moose. Read about the affiliation from a paper that covers the newest ECHL franchise connected to Winnipeg and Manitoba.

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.
