Note: The quiet time across the NHL is close to coming to an end. The Jets have just one RFA (Declan Chisholm) remaining to be signed.

Note II: The dogs days of summer are almost at an end but our off-season series of chats with Jets draft picks continues. We’ve now posted our chat with 2022 3rd rounder Danny Zhilkin (watch it here), 2021 1st rounder Chaz Lucius (watch it here) and Jets/Moose forward Jeff Malott (watch it here).

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.
