The Winnipeg Jets have cleared some much-needed salary cap space by swinging a big Saturday morning trade.
Goalie Steve Mason and forward Joel Armia were both dealt to the Montreal Canadiens, along with a 7th round pick in the 2019 draft and a 4th round pick in the 2020 draft. In exchange, the Jets get defenceman defenceman Simon Bourque while clearing more than $5 million off their books.
