Versatile forward Vladislav Namestnikov fit in quite nicely with the Jets after he was acquired at the Trade Deadline and TSN is reporting that he is coming back to Winnipeg on a two-year deal worth 2 million per season.

The Russian forward who has spent half his life here in North America was acquired by Winnipeg in a trade with San Jose for a 4th round pick in 2024 after the Sharks had traded with the Lighting to acquire him.

He had two goals and eight assists for 10 points in 20 games with Winnipeg. Seemed to have good chemistry with Nikolaj Ehlers so we shall see if that continues next season.

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.
