[blue_gold_84]

Still technically the off-season but this seemed like good news worth sharing: https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/welcome-to-the-jets-sara-orlesky/c-335286544

WINNIPEG - True North Sports + Entertainment and the Winnipeg Jets are excited to welcome seasoned sports broadcaster Sara Orlesky to the Jets content team. As Sr. Host/Producer, Orlesky will bring a unique voice and exceptional storytelling ability to the team's exclusive, in-depth and behind-the-scenes coverage across all Winnipeg Jets platforms.

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Orlesky is a familiar face for Winnipeg sports fans, having hosted Jets ON TSN broadcasts for the last 11 seasons. She brings 20 years of sports broadcasting experience to the Jets content team having covered premier sporting events across the globe, including the Stanley Cup Finals, IIHF World Junior Championships, and the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, as well as covering the sidelines for the last 13 Grey Cup broadcasts.

Congratulations to Sarah.  Always appreciated her on the Bomber games.  Great knowledge and personality.

Seems like an appropriate time to sticky the 2022/2023 Jets thread.  2021/2022 will be retired.

Alex Chiasson, 6'4" 210 vet forward shoots right. Looks like he is still an FA??? Played for 800K last year. This would be an good signing for a 3rd. or 4th line player. He's big and plays with lot of grit.

Exactly what he's told us would happen.

Jets sign veteran F Gagner: https://www.tsn.ca/winnipeg-jets-sign-sam-gagner-1.1843881

Nice move, IMO. Low risk, reasonably high reward.

[Jockitch]

back on August 9th threw Gagner's name out there as a longshot to be signed , which was after I recommended Tyler Motte.
Who knew that Chevy was reading our discussions                                              or NOT 

Anyways, he still has to prove himself each shift but hopefully he provides the team with some savvy.

Basically fills the role Stastny had here but at a lower rate of production and thus, a much lower price. Should be able to fit into the bottom 6 quite nicely.

[Jesse]

He had 31 points last season, which would have led anyone on our team outside of the top 6, so I think it?s good piece.

Yes, After our top 6 we were not very productive.

PL80- 60

Jet's apparently have 5.5M in cap space left. Rodrigues, Motte, Sprong, Milano, Chiasson, still out there.
