Winnipeg Jets will not extend qualifying offers to Ellerby, Olkinuora & Holland

Looks like three guys won’t be back in the fold. Of course Ellerby wasn’t qualified last year and ended up signing with Winnipeg.

No qualifying offers for:

Keaton Ellerby
Patrick Holland
Jussi Olkinuora

– Ellerby has been with the Jets/IceCaps since the 2013-14. He only played in the final game of the 2014-15 season in that unusual contest against the Flames.

– Patrick Holland came over in the Eric Tangradi trade back on October 5, 2014 and he played 21 games with the IceCaps and four with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL. He signed a one-year contract in Finland with HPK on June 16, 2015.

– Jussi Olkinuora was signed to a pro contract from the University of Denver back in April of 2013 and has seen action with the IceCaps as well as the Ontario Reign of the ECHL.

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.
