Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Jets landed a college free-agent prize on Wednesday, signing 24-year-old forward Brandon Tanev after his Hockey East Conference season was completed with the Providence Friars.
Tanev is the brother of Vancouver Canucks defenceman Chris Tanev, who played for the Manitoba Moose when they were the Canucks’ AHL affiliate.
Brandon Tanev has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Jets for the remainder of the season for a pro-rated value of $925,000.
Tanev had 15 goals and 28 points this season for Providence. He had 77 points in 149 games in his four-year college career.
“We are very excited that Brandon has chosen to sign with the Jets,” Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said in a press release.
“Brandon enjoyed a tremendously successful collegiate career at Providence and will bring a combination of high-end speed, energy, and physicality that complement the identity of the Winnipeg Jets. We have been consistently impressed by Brandon’s pace of play, his competitive level night in and night out, and his ability to get on the puck.
“Brandon’s game fits that of the Winnipeg Jets nicely, and we are excited to add a player of his ability to our organization.”
Today, the Jets also recalled forward Chase De Leo from the Moose on an emergency basis. De Leo had two NHL games on an emergency recall earlier this month.
