The Winnipeg Jets have a new captain, Adam Lowry. "When I found out, I was pretty excited, almost a little speechless," said Lowry in a statement. "It’s something growing up you kind of can dream about and something that seems almost unattainable. Getting to be a captain of a Canadian NHL team is pretty special and something I’m really looking forward to." Awesome choice. Realistically it is the only choice with Morrissey as a second choice. However, leaving the A on Scheiffle is a mistake. Isn't this a typical action by the club? The guy wants out and they still reward him. Only thing i would suggest is they want to leave the last vestige of value in that letter to give him and the club some leverage that the club has not given up on him thus value for all that's worth.

Hellebuyck Could Stay With Jets Friedman was asked about the Connor Hellebuyck situation in Winnipeg and he responded that a source told him, as the summer rolls along, it’s more likely there’s a possibility he stays with the Jets. “I’ve just been told, that the word on Hellebuyck is, he has an open mind and he’s prepared to just listen to what they’re thinking.” Friedman said he spoke to a former Jets player and said if there was one thing he would change about the Jets, it for the key players coming to the end of their contracts, that the organization gave players more information about what the team is thinking. The Jets are really quite about that stuff and noted that the stars like Hellebuyck are probably not sure what the plans are in Winnipeg to make the team better. There still has to be a negotiation and there still has to be a conversation about what the plans are in Winnipeg, but the door isn’t closed. When it comes to Mark Scheifele, Friedman says there’s less information there but that the organization is worried that in trading a center, they become very light down the middle. So trading the guy that makes us light in the anyways is a bad thing??

I love the choice of Lowry for Captain. Josh would have been a great pick as well but I wonder if that job might have weighed him down. Lowry brings it every game, has intensity, doesn't back down.....Alot of what has been missing on the Jets.Unlike Wheeler I have a feeling he will know when to lighten up as well. He's better with the press as well.

Jets inked Declan Chisholm to a 1 yr one way contract worth $775k. No more RFAs that need to be signed, but a bit surprised Winnipeg hasn't signed goalie Milic yet to his ELC.
**actually CapFriendly says the deal is a 2-way, but doesn't indicate what the AHL salary will be yet.**

Colby Barlow signed his ELC....Winnipeg now has 5 more contract slots available for other players/prospects (Milic...hint, hint).
