Ken Wiebe: The Winnipeg Jets have put defenseman Sami Niku on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
Chris Johnston: Niku isn’t looking at heading over to Europe but is looking for a fresh start with an NHL team.
Scott Billeck: Terminating Niku’s contract doesn’t have anything to do with defenseman Ville Heinola.
Murat Ates: “Sami Niku is on his way out. The Jets tried to recoup assets for him by trade but could not. What a stunning turn in player value from 2017-18 to now.
