Note: The NHL Draft concluded yesterday with Winnipeg making four selections to add to their prospects pipeline. For the complete recap of all things done by the Jets in Vegas check out this post here.

Note II: Today is the last day for teams to buyout players. The only two times the Jets have done this were done on this day one year ago (Blake Wheeler) and five years ago (Mark Stuart). Will they do it a third time to give themselves some cap space? Stay tuned.

Note III: Tomorrow is the start of NHL Free Agency which gets underway at 11 AM CDT. While the Jets are not traditionally a hot spot for free agents they will definitely be signing players on Monday so be sure to keep it locked here for any and all updates.

Note IV: We expect to get the Development Camp roster and schedule today or tomorrow. For now the thoughts is that it will run from Wednesday, July 3rd to Sunday, July 7th but once the Jets confirm we will post the roster and schedule.
