  • Jets' Leon Gawanke: Headed down to minors

    Gawanke was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Tuesday.

    The Jets reassigned Gawanke from Berlin Eisbaren (DEL) to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.

    The German returned to his home country last fall, earning two assists across six games with Berlin Eisbaren this season. He'll return to North America, where he racked up 22 assists and 26 points across 48 games with AHL Manitoba last season. The 21-year-old has yet to see an NHL game in his career, so expect him to spend most of his time in the minors in 2021.

  • Jets' Leon Gawanke: Links up with DEL club

    Gawanke will join the Berlin Eisbaren (DEL) on loan for the start of the 2020-21 season.

    Gawanke garnered four goals and 22 helpers in 48 games with AHL Manitoba this year, his first professional season. A product of the QMJHL, the 21-year-old defenseman originally came up the ranks in the Eisbaren youth system. Taken by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL Draft, Gawanke will rejoin the club for training camp ahead of the 2020-21 campaign and could make a push for the 23-man roster.

  • Jets' Leon Gawanke: Signs entry-level deal

    Gawanke signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Jets on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Gawanke, who was selected by Winnipeg in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, has spent the past three seasons with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QMJHL, totaling 121 points in 178 games. The 19-year-old blueliner has developed into an offensive force with a booming slap shot, but he still needs to work on his play in his own end, so he'll likely marinate in the minors for a few years before making the jump to the big club. Either way, the 6-foot-1 German has the potential to develop into a major contributor on the power play, making him a player to keep an eye on in dynasty settings.
