Stan Bowman's got tickets.
The Chicago Blackhawks general manager will be in attendance at MTS Centre in Winnipeg on Tuesday night when the Jets host the Dallas Stars, according to TSN's Sara Orlesky.
Bowman was in Montreal on Monday to watch the Canadiens lose to the Nashville Predators, as he scouts players personally ahead of the Feb. 29 trade deadline.
The most obvious speculation: Bowman's in town to watch Andrew Ladd. The Winnipeg captain said Tuesday he's yet to receive a contract offer, and with less than a week to go before the deadline, one's likely not coming. That means Tuesday's game could be Ladd's farewell in Winnipeg.
The Blackhawks are reportedly looking for a top-line left winger, and Ladd certainly fits the bill as a rental player. He also has Chicago connections, playing 184 games with the Blackhawks over three seasons, and winning a Stanley Cup with the club in 2010.
