Blake Wheeler's arbitration date is scheduled for July 29. Wheeler is coming off of a two-year/$5.1 million contract. He had 19 goals and 41 points in 48 games last season.

Blake Wheeler was one of five Jets to file for salary arbitration. Zach Bogosian, Bryan Little, Paul Postma and Eric Tangradi were the others who elected salary arbitration. The Jets are going to be busy with these. Hearings will be held from July 22 to August 6. They have nearly $20 million in cap space right now.

Winnipeg Jets extend qualifying offers to forwards Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Eric Tangradi, Anthony Peluso, Patrice Cormier and Eric O'Dell. The Jets tendered a stunning 13 RFAs by Tuesday's deadline, including the six forwards above and two players likely headed to the KHL in Alex Burmistrov and Tomas Kubalik. It was a purely procedural move that allowed the Jets to retain the rights to all of the players. We expect Winnipeg to lock down deals with all of them considering their stated interest in retaining their RFAs.

Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said Monday that the team's focus is signing their list of restricted free agents. Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Zach Bogosian, Alex Burmistrov, Eric Tangradi, Zach Redmond, Paul Postma, Anthony Peluso and Arturs Kulda are notable names on that list. We have reached out to all the RFAs' respective agents," said Cheveldayoff. "They're all going to be very different, some are going to be shorter term, some are going to be longer terms," Cheveldayoff said. "... A lot of factors that come into play, there's obviously money, there's term, there's where the person is at in free agency and in their respective careers and where they think they are going to go in their respective careers, too. To say when they're all going to get done, hard to say at this point."

The Winnipeg Jets have not started discussing a new contract with restricted free agent Blake Wheeler. Wheeler led the Jets in scoring during the 2011-12 season, with 64 points in 80 games, and he finished second on the club with 41 points in 48 contests during the lockout-shortened campaign. He earned a salary of $2,650,000 this past year, so he's due for a substantial raise.

Blake Wheeler scored his 19th goal of the season for the Jets in a 4-2 loss to Montreal Thursday. Wheeler has 41 points on the season including 10 over his last nine games, proving last season was no fluke. James Wright also scored a goal in the losing effort for the Jets.

Blake Wheeler notched his 18th goal in Winnipeg's 5-3 loss to Washington Tuesday night. Wheeler has been red hot down the stretch, with four goals and eight assists in his past eight games. The Jets' defeat doesn't knock them out of playoff contention, but the Capitals have clinched the Southeast Division title. Evander Kane also found the back of the net for Winnipeg on a second-period power-play goal. Nik Antropov made a triumphant return to the lineup from a lower-body injury with a goal and an assist.

Blake Wheeler scored a goal and added two assists for the Jets in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Carolina. This was the second consecutive three-point effort for Wheeler, who has now recorded 10 points during his current five-game scoring streak. Andrew Ladd collected three assists in the win while defensemen Dustin Byfuglien, Paul Postma and Zach Bogosian all scored for the Jets.

Blake Wheeler generated a goal and two assists in Winnipeg's 4-3 shootout victory versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He has two goals and five helpers in his past four games after going scoreless in his previous six contests. Winnipeg captain Andrew Ladd enjoyed a strong game as well with two goals and an assist. He also supplied the Jets with the shootout-clincher. Zach Bogosian finished the match with two helpers.

Blake Wheeler has registered just two assists and no goals in his last seven matches. The Jets have received some great contributions this season from their top line of Wheeler, Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little. However, points have been harder to come by for the team's number one trio recently. We don't expect them to remain quiet for much longer though.
