Note: The Jets posted their production day shots of players on Tuesday which included unsigned RFA Cole Perfetti. Also yesterday TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger said “it’s likely going to be a two-year bridge. Again, there’s a gap but there’s ongoing back and forth between those two sides”. Have to think it’s done or will be done today and either announced imminently or maybe tomorrow before media availability when training camp gets underway.
Note II: On Tuesday we learned our schedule for the next few weeks with the release of the training camp schedule and the Jets also released the 53 player roster of who is scheduled to be at training camp.
Note III: With camp getting underway today with off ice testing Connor Hrabchak looked ahead to five training camp storylines.
