Sweden expects Bjorck to be with Jets and unavailable for World Junior title defence www.tsn.ca/video/2026/0...
- TSN
Viggo Bjorck was selected eighth-overall by the Winnipeg Jets in June's NHL Entry Draft, and while Sweden would love to have him back to defend their World Juniors gold, head coach Magnus Havelid says...

Viktor Klingsell opened the scoring today at the WJSS vs Finland in Sweden’s 5-2 win. Klingsell finished the tournament 2+3=5pts. Kid has a wicked wrister
The PDOcast went through a bunch of players who are still eligible for extensions and they duscuss Elias Salomonsson. Singing a similar tune to one I’ve been singing since the season ended. The Jets have really avoided doing these sort of deals in the past but it’s time to get with the times IMO
Dima Zhilkin looking better than all the older players at the WJSS
Looks like Viktor Klingsell won’t play much today. Glad I didn’t pony up the $85 to Hockey Canada for full access. That’s more than 3x the amount USA hockey charged last few years when the WJSS was held south of the border
Viktor Klingsell with a PP assist in yesterday’s win vs Canada at the WJSS. 4th point at the event (1+3) I did watch this game because TSN carried it and Klingsell was noticeable on the ice (in a good way) Interesting to see so many of the recent 1st round picks playing on the same ice together
Current highest AAV 2026/27 = Carlsson 18M 2027/28 = Celebrini 18.8M 2028/29 = ??? Will Quinn Hughes exceed the Celebrini cap hit?
Viktor Klingsell (#25) had himself a 3 point game (1+2) yesterday at the WJSS. Primary assist, secondary assist (PP) and then a goal
Someone the Detroit sphere thinks Larry Simmons could be a candidate for the Detroit GM job
Buffalo Winnipeg trade still on? Winnipeg improvement here using Dom L’s model is primarily from subtraction. Toews Nyquist Stanley and Schenn. It also keeps all rookies neutral so Björck is not included here.
Jets cap sheet after signing Perfetti. Tyrel Bauer is the last RFA unsigned. This roster includes 24 with Salomonsson likely to open the season on IR
This is the worst Jets season I’ve simmed so far. Finishing below the Canucks would be extremely embarrassing to say the least. But it would ensure a top 5 pick no matter how the lottery goes 😎
Turns out the Jets account announcement was wrong. They published the cap hit not the AAV. Cap Hit (salary + SB) = $1.075M Sked A Bonus = $1M (max) AAV = $2.075M
AavcoCup@aavcocup.bsky.social · 3w agoThat announced AAV means there are no Schedule A or B bonuses included. The cap hit will be the same as the AAV. That seems like a big win for Chevy. Typically someone in the top 10 would get some A bonus money. Did Chevy promise Viggo NHL for the whole season in exchange? 🤔
The Jets can now feed Viggomania by selling a milion jerseys this summer
Jets account telegraphing Viggo’s imminent ELC announcement while also telling the world what number he will wear
There are now rumblings from Pagnotta that not only would Hellebuyck be willing to waive his NMC to go to Buffalo but that Buffalo is actually where he wants to be traded to
Let’s assume that 2,3 & 4 yr terms are off the table. Which of these deals would you prefer? 1 x $4M (RFA) 5 x $6M (30M exp age 29) 6 x $6.25M (37.5M age 30) 7 x $6.75M (47.25M age 31) 8 x $7.25M (58M age 32)
