Jets shopping for Stanley Cup-winning talent with garage sale-hunter's budget

Hang up the Help Wanted sign outside Bell MTS Place — the Winnipeg Jets have a few openings.

As a result, Monday could end up being one of the busiest days we've seen around these parts when the puck drops on free agency and the frenzy begins.

We don't mean to alarm you, especially on this glorious Canada Day long weekend when hockey may be the furthest thing from your mind, but the Jets have only 16 players under contract for the coming season. And that includes the likes of Kristian Vesalainen, Mason Appleton, Sami Niku and Tucker Poolman, who have all split time so far between the NHL and AHL.
