Photo credit: © Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports
The opening of NHL free agency is in the rear view mirror but the Winnipeg Jets still have four key restricted free agents to sign (Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp, Neal Pionk). The Jets let Tyler Myers, Brandon Tanev and Ben Chiarot all walk to other teams for more money. The only additions have been depth pieces at best. On this week’s episode the guys break down the frenzy that was July 1st, react to the Jets’ signings, and look at trade potential moving forward.
