The Winnipeg Jets have been busy on more than one front today, adding players to their AHL roster for the return of the Manitoba Moose.

The Jets/Moose signed four players today to American Hockey League contracts, and three of them were Jets/Atlanta Thrashers draft picks.

On deals are defencemen Peter Stoykewych (2010), Aaron Harstad (2011) and Brennan Serville (2011). They also signed goalie Jussi Olkinuora, whom they had previously signed as a free agent in the spring of 2013.

PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES Peter Stoykewych, a former Atlanta Thrasher property, was signed by the Jets to play for the Manitoba Moose.

Olkinuora didn’t receive an NHL qualifying offer from the Jets last earlier this week, making him a free agent.

He has played two seasons in the system, with both the ECHL’s Ontario Reign and the AHL’s St. John’s IceCaps.

Harstad, now 23, played for Colorado College in NCAA hockey for the last four seasons. He joined the IceCaps for the end of last regular season for a look.

Serville, 22, was a defensive defenceman for the University of Michigan, scoring just one goal in his four seasons there. He was the teammate of Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba for one of those years.

Stoykewych, also 22, played four years at Colorado College. The Winnipeg native had six goals and 34 points over his career there.
