Jets preseason schedule

...teams will play just four exhibition games instead of the six they previously played. The reduction comes as the NHL expands the regular season from 82 to 84 games.

Sept. 19 – Jets at Oilers (7 pm CT)
Sept. 21 – Jets vs Avalanche (7 pm CT)
Sept. 22 – Jets vs Oilers (7 pm CT)
Sept. 25 – Jets at Avalanche (7:30 pm CT)

We expect the full NHL schedule to be released in July.

Jets re-sign F Rosen to two-year deal

$925K AAV

[JockitchwithRich]

Vegas is in Cap hell with under $5.M and only 15 signed.

So perhaps Chevy might be able to get B. Howden cheap
His AAV is under $3.M, folks live in Oakbank, and he can play C.

[JockitchwithRich]

So rumours still are out there about our 33 yr old goalie

If Buffalo is interested, will Chevy be asking for young
forward Josh Doan, under $7.M aav, as part of a package.

Linking this to the report of his father, and former Jet, Shane Doan, being brought in for the tour in early June. Read that Jets are speaking about an assistant to Chevy and it would be a win for the organization on both fronts, IMO.

That would be a decent signing for sure.

Trading a guy with a team friendly deal does not get you out of cap hell.

But trading a Dorofeyev is a good start.

Maybe Mark Stone to Winnipeg?  That gives them $9.5 mil in cap, and solves our 2C problem until Bjorck in ready...

Anyone like Carter Hart or Aidan Hill?

[theaardvark]

Wow, Twitter has some "new info"?

Sources say Connor Hellebuyck has withdrew his trade request from the Winnipeg jets after seeing Viggo Bjork be drafted by the jets.

He also said he would rather play in Winnipeg than Buffalo.

[Pigskin]

The Jets need to be aggressive on July 1, to improve our 2nd. line and bring in some scoring.

[JockitchwithRich]

We get a barely used dman from the Pens for Gustafsson, who stayed with the Moose last season
Very happy for Gusty and do hope he makes their roster

Really don't care what Helleybuck said, he's said enough already to rock the boat. I want guys who want to be here, not guys who publically rant and pout in the press. I get you're upset, but that stuff gets said behind closed doors with the GM
