Note: Last week we conducted 14 prospect interviews as well as had a conversation with Director of Player Development Jimmy Roy at the Development Camp in Winnipeg. We’ve got links to all 15 in one spot for your perusal.

Note II: We heard from Nikolaj Ehlers for the first time as a member of the Hurricanes on Saturday when he spoke during a media availability. On Sunday he penned this letter to the Jets organization, his teammates and the fans.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Top 12 RFAs of 2025: Latest rumours, reports. No surprise the Jets check in with two on this list including Vilardi (2nd) and Samberg (8th) while Morgan Barron is listed as an honourable mention. 

Winnipeg Sun: Jets add size and depth in early days of NHL free agency. While they clearly weren’t able to find a piece to replace number 27 they did add a number of depth pieces that are going to help the NHL and AHL clubs of Manitoba.

NHL.com: Gustav Nyquist sees opportunity to play really good hockey for a really good team. Missed this a few days back as Darrin caught up with the 35-year old forward who is looking to breath some life back into his career. 

Jets video/audio:

Illegal Curve Hockey Show: Saturday PodcastTwo hours didn’t seem like enough time for the show this past weekend given how much had happened in Jetsland since our last one. We covered the Jonathan Toews presser and his impact, Nikolaj Ehlers signing with the ‘Canes, the free agency moves for Winnipeg and the five days of Development Camp. We were joined by Murat Ates of The Athletic Winnipeg as well as Jets defenceman Haydn Fleury.

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.
