Report: Schenn & Stanley Not Returning to Buffalo Sabres

Short and sweet with the Sabres. After a mid-season trade which saw the Buffalo Sabres give up valuable assets, both defencemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley are set to hit the free-agent market on July 1. While it was surprising to see how much the Sabres gave up to land both d-men from the Winnipeg Jets, it turned out to not be a great fit as neither blueliner was in their Game 7 lineup against the Montreal Canadiens. Schenn, 36, isn't the most mobile defender, but his game is built on posit...

A Proposed Sabres/Jets Blockbuster Trade for Connor Hellebuyck

The Buffalo Sabres had a great run this season. A first place finish in the Atlantic Division, their first time back in the playoffs in 15 years, and a run to Game 7 overtime of the second round. But one area that began to spring leaks as the postseason wore on was between the pipes.  "Their two main guys had been leaky in the playoffs, and specifically, Ukko-Pekka Luukkanen," Jeff Marek said on Daily Faceoff Live. He then went on to propose swinging a bold blockbuster that could fix that...

Winnipeg Jets Urged To Submit Offer Sheet To Top Restricted Free Agent

The Winnipeg Jets need to improve this offseason significantly, particularly if they're going to keep all-world goaltender Connor Hellebuyck happy.

Now we turn our attention to a handful of players that are living with the higher expectations that come alon...

Winnipeg Jets Rumors: Hellebuyck Trade Buzz Picking Up Around NHL

Connor Hellebuyck has experienced the ultimate thrill of an Olympic Gold Medal. Now he has his sights set on a Stanley Cup. But from the sounds of his exit interview after the Winnipeg Jets were sent home at the end of the regular season, he's getting frustrated with where the team is, calling this season "unacceptable." If you haven't seen his reaction when asked whether he'd reconsider his future in Winnipeg, you must watch the agonizing pain he demonstrated  while trying to answer...

Winnipeg Jets: Prospects Report – Part 1

Well…my off-season here at Arctic Ice Hockey hasn’t began well, as it has almost been 2 weeks since my last article on the site. That lapse in time saw a few things happen involving the Winnipeg Jets organization, including the re-signing of bottom six forward Cole Koepke , the True North club getting unlucky at the Lottery Draft and falling to the 8th overall selection, and the Manitoba Moose being eliminated from the American Hockey League playoffs. All that skipped over because I decided to...
