Jets Defensive Prospect Puts Up Positive Results In First Professional Season; Tougher Challenges Await Next Season
Alfons Freij / Winnipeg Jets defensive prospect Alfons Freij completed his first season of professional hockey, putting up positive results. The 19-year-old scored two goals and added eight points in 29 games for IF Björklöven in HockeyAllsvenskan, Sweden's second-tier league. HockeyAllsvenskan has proved to be a great league for developing young prospects. Advertisement Freij will make his SHL debut next season, playing with Timrå IK, a team featuring several NHL-affiliated prospects and former NHLer Magnus Pääjärvi. The Jets selected Freij with the 37th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. The second-round pick was the first selection made by the Jets, and the Jets were given plenty of praise for the selection. Listed at 6'1, 196 lbs, Freij is a wonderful skater with strong offensive instincts. He's known for his playmaking ability, and he's beginning to round out his defensive game. His excellent skating is highlighted by both the speed he generates, but also his edge work. He can distribute his weight onto either foot, which makes him a handful for forwards to cover when engaging on the forecheck or trying to defend him at their blue line. His skating and frame should allow him to continue to develop defensively while maintaining his outstanding transition ability. Freij was left off of Sweden's World Junior team this season but will likely play a large role at this year's event. With Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Tom Willander, Theo Lindstein, and Rasmus Bergqvist all aging out of the tournament, roster spots are open for the taking, and Freij looks prepared to take over. Advertisement Although he is still 2-3 years away from fighting for a roster spot on the Jets, Freij is trending in the right direction. Another season or two playing in the SHL will be great for his development before he transitions to North American professional hockey with the Manitoba Moose in the AHL, following a similar path to Elias Salomonsson, who looks poised to crack the Jets roster sometime soon.

NFL Analyst Suggests Eagles Could Trade for Bengals' All-Pro
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Will the rich get richer ahead of the 2025 NFL season? The Philadelphia Eagles have always shown a willingness to avoid getting comfortable by wheeling and dealing. Whenever there is a top trade candidate on the market, you can bet Howie Roseman is trying to get his fingerprints on it. Right now, Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is one of the most notable players on the trade block. The Eagles haven't been linked to Hendrickson just yet, but that could change in an instant. Recently, NFL Analyst Marc Ross labeled the Eagles as a team he wants to see trade for Hendrickson before the start of the 2025 NFL season. Why Would the Eagles Get Involved in a Hendrickson Deal? "The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl with a relentless pass rush, but Philadelphia has questions on that front heading into the 2025 campaign, given the loss of Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith's injury and the inherent need for young guys like Moro Ojomo (2023 seventh-round pick) and Jalyx Hunt (2024 third-rounder) to level up," Ross writes. Trey Hendrickson #91 of the Cincinnati Bengals lines up before the snap during an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on November 7, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. Trey Hendrickson #91 of the Cincinnati Bengals lines up before the snap during an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on November 7, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland."General manager Howie Roseman hit big on the trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown in 2022. Trading for Hendrickson, who's in a contract standoff with the Bengals, could provide a similar effect for the defense. Plus, the Eagles just cleared more cap space by dealing Huff. This would be a case of the rich getting richer -- and a move I wouldn't put past Philly." Roseman has always shown that he prioritizes stars in the trenches. A lot of the Eagles' success on defense in the past started up front, with the big fellas getting to the quarterback and disrupting throws more often than not. Philadelphia's front line on defense shined bright against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl, and showed teams across the league just how much of a difference-maker a relentless pass rush can be. The Eagles have formed a bit of a youth movement recently, but Hendrickson's timeline matches a squad that's looking to compete for a title now. The 30-year-old remains in his prime, being that he's been named a Pro Bowler for the past four seasons—with his first All-Pro nod coming in 2024. Last year, Hendrickson appeared in 17 games for the Bengals. He registered a career-high 17.5 sacks, which is a number he notched one season before that. Last year's ability to get to nearly 18 sacks allowed Hendrickson to lead the entire NFL for the first time in his career.
