'I love being a Winnipeg Jet,' free agent defenceman says
The Winnipeg Jets likely won't have to face a 'Life without Josh Morrissey' scenario in the fall, the top-pairing defenceman said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old restricted free agent said he's optimistic he'll have a new contract in hand before the NHL club opens camp in about three weeks.
That should allay fears of Jets fans who take a doomsday approach to the protracted negotiations between Winnipeg and Morrissey, fearing the talented left-shooting blue-liner could hold out while the rest of his teammates assemble in September.
