Winnipeg Jets reassign prospect Logan Stanley to the Manitoba Moose

The big defenceman who the Jets took with their second pick in the 1st round of the 2016 entry draft has been reassigned by the team to their AHL affiliate Manitoba Moose who are currently in a 0-2 hole in their 2nd round series with the IceHogs.   Stanley joined the team once his OHL season with the Kitchener Rangers concluded.  He was in the pressbox for the first pair of home games here in Winnipeg against Rockford.  Perhaps this means we will see the prospect crack the Moose lineup for game 3 which goes Wednesday night.  Stay tuned.

Moose Release:
