Note: The NHL Draft concluded yesterday with Winnipeg making six additional selections after taking Viggo Bj\u00f6rck in the first round on Friday, further bolstering the organization\u2019s prospect pipeline. Be sure to check out the post-draft comments<\/a> of\u00a0Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Hillier. For a complete recap of everything the Jets did in Buffalo, check out our full draft roundup here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note II: Today is the calm before the storm in Jetsland. Monday is the deadline for teams to issue qualifying offers to their restricted free agents. It\u2019s also the start of the Jets\u2019 Development Camp (although the on-ice portion doesn\u2019t begin until Tuesday), which runs through Friday. While the schedule has already been released<\/a>, the full camp roster is expected to be announced later today. Then comes Wednesday, when NHL free agency opens. Needless to say, it\u2019s shaping up to be a whirlwind week.<\/p>\n

Jets news:<\/p>\n

Winnipeg Sun:\u00a0Hillier high on Jets latest draft picks<\/a>. As I indicated in the note above, he was the most effusive I\u2019ve ever heard him since he took over in the late teens about a prospect when he was discussing Viggo Bj\u00f6rck.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg Sun:\u00a0Jets restock pipeline following Day 2 of NHL Draft<\/a>. Biggest surprise was adding two more goalie prospects to the fold although that seemed to be on the minds of a lot of GMs as close to 30 netminders were selected.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg Free Press:\u00a0Jets iron out crease depth on day 2 of NHL draft<\/a>. (Paywall). Winnipeg went on a run of selecting goaltenders in the 2016\u201319 drafts before taking a few years off from drafting netminders. The two they picked in 2022 (DiVincentiis) and 2023 (Milic) are now in their second and third pro seasons respectively, so it made sense to add more to the amateur ranks.<\/p>\n
