The #NHLJets have put Ville Heinola and Walker Duehr on waivers.

Would seem to indicate a plan to carry 14F/7D to start the year.

Would mean just one non-waiver forward cut left to come. Based on today’s skate, Brad Lambert or Parker Ford.

Lowry, Samberg and Perfetti on IR.

ICYMI, plus a quick note to say that no Winnipeg Jets were on waivers today, so it appears the final opening-day roster decisions aren’t going to be made until Sunday (or Monday prior to the deadline). And a reminder that the monthly mailbag for @winnipegfreepress.com is open for one more week here👇

Here’s my story on the Winnipeg Jets exhibition finale 👇

Winnipeg Free Press @winnipegfreepress.com · 5d

You will forgive Scott Arniel if he happened to mutter a quick good riddance to the exhibition season before hopping on the plane back home to Winnipeg on Friday night.

Jets rally to earn a 5-4 shootout victory over Flames, but DeMelo and Perfetti leave early

The #NHLJets have a handful of final roster cuts left to make this weekend.

And Friday night’s roster for the preseason finale in Calgary may have provided a sneak peek at the organizational pecking order.
