Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets could look to help roster, prospect pool at draft. (Paywall). Mike and Ken with some thoughts ahead of the draft which gets underway this evening.

Winnipeg Free Press: Hellebuyck wins second Vezina Trophy. (Paywall). Ken is in Vegas and wrote about the big win for the Jets top netminder.

Winnipeg Sun: Will Jets trade into first round in Vegas? There are so many potential scenarios at play and Scott gives you his insight on what is known and then looks at some players the Jets could have their eyes on and then concludes with a little trade projection. 

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets offseason defence targets: Brenden Dillon, Jakob Chychrun, more. (Paywall). Despite the fact the team won the William Jennings Trophy the expectation is they will augment this group to make them tougher to play against. Murat gives you some names of players who could be acquired and how they might fit including a current member of the Jets although I personally think that ship has sailed.
