The Winnipeg Jets cut down 10 players and placed five on waivers. Sami Niku was an actual surprise to me, I thought he might make it.
CJ Suess, Mason Appleton and Skyler McKenzie played well in the exhibition games, but it was pretty clear they would not be carried on opening night. That’s okay. They helped put themselves on the map for future call ups. Never a bad idea.
Either way, the Jets still have some cuts to make. Some of those are obvious, due to injuries or absences.
But Mitchell Clinton Tweeted out the lines at today’s practice, and it makes things pretty clear.
