32 Thoughts Podcast | On Scott Arniel hire and if there is any chance the Winnipeg Jets can retain Sean Monahan?

On today’s 32 Thoughts Podcast with Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman the two discussed the hiring of Scott Arniel by the Winnipeg Jets on Friday starting at the 29:17 mark. Friedman said that “nobody is surprised by this, Arniel was always the favourite here”. He went on to say that Flin Flon’s Dean Evason interviewed very well with Winnipeg. Said with Arniel’s history and with what he accomplished when he took over for Rick Bowness, someone was going to have to do something “memorable or supremely outstanding to beat him out for this job”.

Then Marek asked about player personnel and whether there is any chance the Jets could keep Sean Monahan?

Friedman indicated:

“I think they’re trying. Just in making all my calls on the weekend, just hearing what was going on around there as all this news was going on there. There was definitely a sense of Winnipeg wants to keep him, is trying to keep him and what are the dominoes that could fall if they do keep him.”
