Day 2 of the draft ended with Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff speaking with the media in Vancouver as well as a chat with us on The Illegal Curve Hockey Show which you can listen to here.  Jets Director of amateur scouting Mark Hillier reflected on the draft once it concluded and had some interesting comments on how his team did this weekend.  You can listen to that interview here.

There won’t be any time for rest as the Jets kick off their development camp on Tuesday (full schedule here) at the IcePlex.  I (@icdave on twitter) will be there as usual covering for illegalcurve.com.
