Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

The Telegram:  O’Dell back in the Jet stream.  He was the IceCaps leading scorer last season and I’m sure fans in St. John’s are happy to have him back in the fold for another season.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Olys enough to get Buff to be buff?  If shooting for an Olympic roster spot is sufficient to get him back to form, Jets fans will be happy to be the secondary beneficiaries of this change.

Winnipeg Free Press:  USA Hockey intrigued by Byfuglien’s potential.  Spoke about all four members of the Jets (Trouba, Bogosian, Byfuglien and Wheeler) who have been invited to camp.  Had an interesting take on Byfuglien.

Illegal Curve:  Team USA GM David Poile spoke about four members of Jets invited to camp (audio).  Listen to the Nashville GM (and  GM of Team USA) speak about these four players and what they could bring to his team.

Illegal Curve:  Ondrej Pavelec & Michael Frolik invited to Czech Camp.  Couple more Jets going to Olympic camp for their country.

NHL news:

Globe and Mail:  ‘NHL game’ doesn’t always work on larger ice surface.  It is what makes the Olympics so interesting.  Aside from being set four years after the previous games, when you switch from an NHL arena to a Russian one, it completely changes the way you compose your team.  Lots of work for the brass.
