About this episode

The episode covers the Jets' 2026 draft class, NHL free agency, and the latest news around the NHL.

The hockey world hasn't slowed down since the NHL Draft and we had it all covered on this week's Illegal Curve Hockey Show. We looked back at the Jets' 2026 draft class and shared what we learned from watching the organization's newest prospects at Development Camp in Winnipeg. We also dove into the start of NHL free agency, including the additions of Stuart Skinner and Mario Ferraro, discussed what they bring to the club, and examined whether there are more moves still to come. As always, we covered the latest Jets news, answered your questions, and broke down everything happening around the NHL. Thanks to everyone who joined us for another busy edition of the Illegal Curve Hockey Show. Guest: Jamie Thomas, Jets team reporter at 24:12 Mario Ferraro, Jets defenceman at 1:23:25
