Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Eight Jets have Oly possibilities. Quite the international flavour on the Jets as a number of players have been invited. When cuts are made the number to make the final Olympic roster will most certainly not be eight.

Illegal Curve:  Anthony Peluso signed to two year dealJust when we thought all the action was done for the day, Winnipeg announced late on Monday that they had come to terms with the pugilistic Anthony Peluso.

Winnipeg Sun:  A Little closer to cap with $23.5M deal for centre.  Considering the state of the Jets currently at centre ice, many were glad to have this big need filled.

Illegal Curve:  Bryan Little conference callThe Jets held a conference call with their centre and we have the full audio for those who missed it.  You can also read some of the comments that we transcribedProponents of this city will appreciate the comments that Little made during the call.

Winnipeg Sun:  American execs pay big compliment to Jacob Trouba with Olympic camp invitationWhile it is nice that he will gain some valuable experience going to camp it should be understood that the US brain trust has also invited other young US born players such as Nashville’s Seth Jones and Montreal’s Alex Galchenyuk to name a coupleIn our post we have a link to the full list of all 48 players invited to the American camp to be held August 26-27 in Virginia.

Winnipeg Sun:  Captain Andrew Ladd thrilled to be in Olympic team mixWhile he is going to face an uphill climb to make a stacked Canadian team, especially with his skill set, it is nonetheless quite the honour to be asked to play for your country.

Illegal Curve:  Andrew Ladd conference callThe captain spoke with media after it was announced that he would be heading to Calgary for orientation camp.  Also spoke about the new members of the Jets.

NHL news:

Globe and Mail:  Devils agree to one-year contract with JagrCount me as someone who is glad the 41 year old is still playingThen again, I have a tendency to live in the past.

Toronto Star:  Tim Leiweke wants to end sight of empty seats when puck drops at Air Canada CentreHe is in some hot water with fans over what many see as his slighting the history of the Leafs teams from years past.  His counter is he wants to change the focus to today’s team and switch the mentality of fans who are currently filling his arena.

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.
