Note: New Jets colour analyst Landon Ferraro shared his excitement after his hiring<\/a> became official, saying on X<\/a> that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t be more excited\u201d for the opportunity to get to Winnipeg and call Jets games where he will be featured alongside play-by-play voice Dan Robertson.<\/p>\n

Note II: The Jets confirmed that Altona\u2019s Cole Kehler will serve as the club\u2019s Emergency Backup Goalie (EBUG) this season. We reported the news last Thursday<\/a>, although it may have been easy to miss amid Connor Hellebuyck\u2019s trade-request statement.<\/p>\n

Note III: Some pundits were speculating last night whether New Jersey\u2019s acquisition of Luke Evangelista from Nashville could be a precursor to the Devils making another move, potentially one involving Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.

We\u2019ve seen lists that include eight teams, some that include five clubs but this one limits itself to three and they are, in my opinion, the three most likely landing spots for Hellebuyck\u2019s services. Of course I caution that oftentimes we think we can predict which move Kevin Cheveldayoff will make and then he goes off the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n
