Cam Robinson writes that the buzz around the combine is Jonathan Toews signing with the #NHLJets. Unlike most UFA’s Toews is free to sign right away. No need to wait until July 1st

Dmitri Rashevsky is apparently not coming to North America to play for the #NHLJets or Moose. Seems like he signed the equivalent of a KHL offersheet with Avangard. Dynamo Moscow has a week to match the offer. Google translate below

Scott Arniel finished 2nd in Jack Adams voting #NHLJets

Adam Lowry is now a role model for young biggish centers #NHLJets

The best thing about playoff OT is no commercial breaks. Even when they scrape the ice halfway though the period.

Nelson was obviously more comfortable attaching his future Stanley Cup hopes to MacKinnon and Makar than he was to Scheifele and Hellebuyck #NHLJets

Chris Johnson today suggested that the NHL CBA negotiations are almost complete and have gone well. An announcement could happen any day now

A bunch more #NHLJets development camp invitees have been revealed. The final list could also include players from the CHL. These are just NCAA invites

This is the first #NHLJets invitee to this year’s dev camp that I’ve seen leaked. Matthew Desidario

Pronman mock draft sent Henry Brzustewicz to the #NHLJets. I watched him a quite a bit when scouting Jacob Julien in London games. I’m sure the Jets have seen him plenty including the player development guys. I’d be OK with this pick. Media folks would have a nightmare spelling his name tho LOL

With Kupari signing in Switzerland today the #NHLJets need for C depth just got more urgent. It also means they have one less right shot forward. If Appleton also leaves in free agency right shot forward will also be a position of need this offseason. Toews is a lefty BTW

Rasmus Kupari has signed a 2 yr deal with HV Lugano in Switzerland. Perhaps he has an NHL escape clause in his contract. Regardless #NHLJets will give him a qualifying offer to retain his rights https://www.hclugano.ch/en/rasmus_kupari_first_round_nhl_draft_pick_arrives_at_the_corner_arena.jspx2

Seems to me that some in the #NHLJets media are ignoring fact that Brad Lambert basically did not play C for the Moose in the second half of the season. Big stretch to go from that useage to being a realistic 2C option for the NHL club.

The #NHLJets are definitely pulling out all the stops to get Nikolaj’s signature on an extension (🐕 on a 🦴 move here)

That Yanni Gourde contract 6 yr term with low aav. Could the #NHLJets get a similar extension with Adam Lowry done? Assumes he LTIRetires in the last year or two of the deal. Leaves cap room for the team to theoretically compete

#NHLJets Adam Lowry finished 10th in Selke voting (including 3 first plac3 votes) Neither of Mark Scheifele or KFC received a single vote 😱 Surprised to see PLD on this list TBH.

Jacob Julien scored the opening goal of the Memorial Cup final game on a breakaway and then celebrates a championship with his London Knights teammates. Next stop for him #NHLJets dev camp and then training camp

Connor Levis draft rights have now expired. He’s no longer an #NHLJets prospect. He does not immediately become a UFA. Levis will re-enter the draft pool and is eligible to be selected again at the ucoming June draft

Here’s the thing about Jonathon Toews. Anyone thinking he’d be a magical 2C solution is out to lunch. I know some in the #NHLJets media sphere frame it that way. I tend to look at it as a pure C depth option. More like a 4C. It’s best to think of it that way IMO

This is the Oettinger fan boy guy who was openly cheering and hoping for Hellebuyck to fail last series LOL

Jonathan Toews to the #NHLJets?
