The Winnipeg Jets started off free-agency day with some news, but not in the blockbuster category.
The Jets announced that their AHL affiliate the Manitoba Moose have signed five players for next season, defencemen Jake Baker and Tyson Wilson and forwards Brandon Denham, Jiri Fronk and Darren Kramer.
Fronk played 33 games with the Moose last season, scoring eight points. The 22-year-old also spent five games with the ECHL’s Tulsa Oilers.
Kramer, 24, played 61 games last AHL season with the Moose, recording 12 points and 138 penalty minutes as the team’s tough guy. He was in trouble with the law last week in Florida but that clearly hasn’t dissuaded the Moose/Jets from bringing him back to Winnipeg.
