Winnipeg Jets Euro Tracker: Firing Fehr, Wonderful Wheeler and Koulda Been Better Kulda

Apologies for the delay in publication, this should have been out 5 days ago. My bad. European play has resumed after a week off for international duties, in which Alexei Ponikarovsky and Ondrej Pavelec played for Ukraine and Czech Republic respectively. Ponikarovsky picked up 2 goals and 3 assists in 3 games of Olympic qualification, while Pavelec helped backstop the Czechs to a Karjala Cup victory, posting a 0.50 GAA and .984 save percentage.

Antti Miettinen is now with HPK in the SM-liiga, while Ondrej Pavelec has joined the league with the Lahti Pelicans, after leaving Liberec in the Czech Extraliga. Evander Kane has returned to Canada after his rather unsuccessful stint with Dinamo Minsk. Also, Tobias Enstrom is practicing with Orebro in the Swedish Allsvenskan league after leaving Red Bull Salzburg.

Meanwhile, in league play…
