  • Plenty to Ponder Ahead of Deadline Cheveldayoff Has Options Before Trade Window Closes on Monday
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-only-worry-about-the-next-game-not- trade-rumours-474509663.html Plenty to ponder ahead of deadline Cheveldayoff has options before trade window closes on Monday By: Mike McIntyre A blockbuster move? A depth piece or two? Nothing at all? Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says all options are on the table heading into Monday’s NHL trade deadline — and plenty of intrigue surrounds what the local squad might do. The Jets resemble a Stanley Cup contender and have the prime opportunity they’ve been building toward for years. "I couldn’t tell you with a crystal ball what we’re going to be talking about Monday with respect to additions, or not, with our group," Cheveldayoff said Tuesday in a wide-ranging conversation with the Free Press. Cheveldayoff made it clear that while he’s willing to move draft picks and prospects to help his team win now, there are a few untouchables. While he wouldn’t identify them by name, one has to think young players such as Kyle Connor, Jack Roslovic and 2017 first-round pick Kristian Vesalainen might be among them. "We have assets within this organization — whether they’re picks or prospects — and there’s going to be a threshold that will be determined as to whether we will use them or not," Cheveldayoff said. "There’s some assets within our organization that I will not use. If there’s the right fit, and the right deal, then certainly I’d be willing to do that.

  • Laine Scores Twice in 3-2 Jets Victory Over Hurricanes
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/laine-scores-twice-in-3-2-jets-victory- over-hurricanes-475785853.html Laine scores twice in 3-2 Jets victory over Hurricanes By: Mike McIntyre RALEIGH, N.C. — It's one of the best reality shows going right now in the National Hockey League, and Patrik Laine took his act on the road and put on another stellar episode Sunday night, this time for the fine folks of Raleigh who likely didn't appreciate it as much as those in Winnipeg do. Laine scored twice — ho hum, what else is new? — and assisted on another to lead the Jets to a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes as they kicked off a six-game road trip. It's the second straight game, and third time in four, the Finnish sniper has lit the lamp twice as he continues to climb up the NHL record book in addition to helping his team gather valuable points in the playoff race. "I can feel it, when the game is going to be like that, when you’re going to get a lot of chances," the 19-year-old said following the game. With 35 goals so far this season, Laine is now up to 71 in his career. That puts him sixth for goals scored by a teenager in NHL history. Jimmy Carson leads the way with 92, and Laine said earlier Sunday he had visions of leading that list when all was said and done. We think he was joking, considering there are just 17 regular-season games left in the season, after which he will turn 20.

  • Trio Has Super Time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/trio-has-super-time-in-minneapolis-on- super-sunday-472850603.html Trio has super time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday By: Mike McIntyre Three members of the Winnipeg Jets had a truly super Sunday. Mark Scheifele, Andrew Copp and Jacob Trouba took advantage of an off-day and made the quick trip to Minneapolis to watch the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII. "Unbelievable," Scheifele said Monday following practice. "Obviously lucky that it was in Minnesota, we had a day off. I surprised my brother and my best friend with their Christmas gifts — they got to come to the Super Bowl. And then Copper and Troubs came, too. It’s definitely something to cross off the bucket list and something that I’ll never forget." They took an early morning flight, soaked up the atmosphere before and during the game, and then caught a late-night flight home. Copp, a former high school quarterback in Michigan, said it was a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" and marvelled at getting to watch New England quarterback Tom Brady in action — even if it was in a losing effort. "It was a crazy game. There wasn’t much more Tom could have done — maybe catch the ball — but he was unbelievable," Copp said. "I turned to (Trouba) a few times and it was just like, ‘Wow, he’s playing one of the best games of his career, probably.’ And then (Philadelphia quarterback Nick) Foles made some great throws, too, so it was definitely an entertaining back- and-forth game." Copp and Scheifele didn’t hide their rooting interests, sporting Brady jerseys.

  • A Fleet Transformed Just Five Members of the Relocated Atlanta Thrashers
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/a-fleet-transformed-449138983.html A fleet transformed Just five members of the relocated Atlanta Thrashers are still flying Jets colours seven years later as the rebuilt youthful, speedy squadron prepares for takeoff with soaring expectations By: Jason Bell Let’s hop in the time machine and program the date to Oct. 9, 2011. Winnipeg is buzzing over the return of the NHL, and the puck is about to drop on the inaugural season of the Jets 2.0 at the barn on Portage Avenue. The Montreal Canadiens are the visitors as Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler, Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien and Toby Enstrom line up for the opening faceoff. A tall, slender teen named Mark Scheifele is on the bench during the national anthem and will make his NHL debut just 3:05 into the first period. Ondrej Pavelec guards the net, offering the last line of protection against the Habs. There’s great hope surrounding the former Atlanta Thrashers — an eclectic mix of veterans, including two with Stanley Cup rings, and a reasonable crop of talented youngsters. Much of that initial excitement is little more than misguided, blind faith in a team that possesses a few key pieces, but is severely short on roster depth and the prospects cupboard is nearly bare. The Montreal Canadiens bring a shot of reality to the thunderous, electrified celebration at the MTS Centre that historic Sunday afternoon, beating the Jets 5-1. Credit the transplanted group for finishing the season with a respectable 37-35-10 record in the Southeast Division, rocking it at home at 23-13-5.

  • Decisions, Decisions with Pre-Season Over, Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/decisions-decisions-448983933.html Decisions, decisions With pre-season over, who will stay and who will go? By: Jeff Hamilton The Winnipeg Jets wrapped up the 2017 NHL pre-season with a 3-2 shootout loss on the road to the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. It was only fitting the game needed extra time to determine a winner, extending what had been a seemingly endless two weeks of evaluations and line juggling. Winnipeg finished the exhibition schedule with a record of 2-3-2; more importantly, however, was the assessment of a number of new and young pieces vying for roles. With the season opener set for Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bell MTS Place, the Jets will need to trim their roster significantly, which could happen as early as today. While pre-season hockey doesn’t count for points in the standings, there was plenty to gain from the last seven games. Here are five takeaways from the pre-season: Laine primed for big year When Patrik Laine reported to camp in early September, he told reporters he had skated "just six or seven times" over the summer while back home in Finland. Instead of on-ice workouts, the superstar winger spent his days in the gym. Needless to say, the 19-year-old looks bigger and stronger than he did a year ago, when he registered 36 goals and 28 assists for 64 points in 73 games as a rookie. It’s difficult to guess just how much muscle Laine has gained from the gym in recent months, but the last two weeks have certainly shown he hasn’t lost anything on the ice.

  • Jets Squad Prepared for Takeoff Copp Avoids Injury Scare to Play in Opener
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/copp-back-on-ice-jets-face-roster- deadline-this-afternoon-449282993.html Jets squad prepared for takeoff Copp avoids injury scare to play in opener By: Jason Bell Andrew Copp’s lucky break — or lack of one, in this case — had a painful side effect for Kyle Connor. Copp will play tonight in the Winnipeg Jets’ 2017-18 NHL season-opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bell MTS Place. Game time is 6 p.m. (Sportsnet, TSN 1290) The 23-year-old foward who hails from Ann Arbor, Mich., was sidelined for a couple of days with an ailing knee after blocking a cannon off the stick of veteran Flames defenceman Mark Giordano on Saturday night in Calgary. The pain was so intense, Copp couldn’t bear weight on the leg and did his best crab impersonation to crawl off the ice at the Saddledome. But he declared himself fit for battle Tuesday morning following a 70-minute practice at the downtown rink. He took several line rushes with centre Adam Lowry and right-winger Joel Armia and also worked with the penalty-killing unit. The club’s medical staff and head coach Paul Maurice clearly agreed, giving him the green light to join the battle against Auston Matthews and the Leafs. By mid-afternoon, the Jets announced Connor had been dispatched to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. "I took a couple of days off just to rest it and the swelling’s gone down a lot, and just feel comfortable, obviously, out there in practice and should be ready to go for the game," Copp said.
