Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Trade Deadline News: There was a goalie swap between the Jets and Panthers on Thursday dealing Kaapo Kahkonen for Winnipegger Chris Driedger. The big player Winnipeg was rumoured to be in on was dealt late last night as Brock Nelson was acquired by the Avalanche for a pretty penny. Oh and then Elliotte Friedman reported that talks were intensifying for the Hurricanes to send Mikko Rantanen to the Dallas Stars. As I said on twitter imagine that first round series between Colorado and Dallas. Will be interesting to see how the Jets pivot. Stick with us throughout the day for complete coverage here via the NHL Trade Tracker and all across all of our various social media.

Note: The Jets got back on track last night in Philadelphia scoring twice on the power play (on two opportunities) and twice at 5-on-5 to leave the city of brotherly love with a 4-1 win over the Flyers. No morning skate as the team played last night but stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.
