Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Wheeler happy with deal. Fans will be happy to read the comments from the rangy winger about the future of this team and his reasons for wanting to be a part of this development.
Winnipeg Sun: Wheeler signs on dotted line, gets hefty raise. While some feel this is market value and others think it could be an overpay, the truth is we won’t truly know the value of this contract for quite some time. Hard to be an absolutist one way or the other with that type of uncertainty. It will be on the Minnesota native to prove that the Jets made a wise long term investment.
Winnipeg Sun: Jets are where Blake Wheeler wants to be. He feels that the pressure will serve him well as he doesn’t believe the long term contract will make him complacent.
