Gabriel Vilardi has signed a six year contract with Winnipeg, closing a trade request tree that began with Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic. What it means, the value of Vilardi at $7.5 million, and what comes next ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/65030…
Winnipeg Jets sign Gabriel Vilardi to 6-year contract extension, avoid arbitration nytimes.com/athletic/65030…
Jets get a fantastic deal on Gabriel Vilardi, who has blossomed into a quality first line talent in Winnipeg.
This is solid for Winnipeg in a rising cap environment. Vilardi is going to make hay on the #NHLJets power play and he'll produce at even strength if he keeps getting those Connor/Scheifele minutes, too.
THE VILARDI PARTY CONTINUES FOR SIX MORE YEARS 🎉
Winnipeg has signed Parker Ford to a two year, two way contract with an AAV in the NHL of $812,500. Ford made his NHL debut last season and gained attention at Jets camp via his tenacious style of play. I'd expect him to be Moose this season.
#Canucks trade Dakota Joshua to Maple Leafs for fourth-round pick. Some additional insights into what this means for both teams from @reporterchris and I via @TheAthleticNHL: nytimes.com/athletic/65008…

The Athletic: #CBJ Yegor Chinakhov requests a trade, citing misunderstandings with Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason GM Don Waddell said Chinakhov "couldn't handle" being a healthy scratch after he returned from a back injury last spring. nytimes.com/athletic/65000…
At yesterday's funeral, a speaker shared that Olivia survived for long enough for her family to say a final goodbye — thanks to a supply of available blood. I haven't donated in a million years but I've made an appointment for tomorrow. So much love to these good people.
Crossing over into art, music, and friendship. Brendan Berg and his partner Olivia Michalczuk were bright, bright lights in this city. Their passing is senseless, senseless stuff. It is a striking loss. My thoughts, love, condolences to their dearest ones. They will be missed.
Programming note: I'll be taking a week off now, starting with a trip to see Fred Penner open Winnipeg Folk Fest on the main stage (and Hayley Penner singing with him!) Hope everyone is enjoying the summer sun.
