Winnipeg Jets 2016-17 Training Camp Day 18: Coach Maurice

On a day the team got down to 24 on the roster the Jets bench boss spoke following skate.

Topics:  Background on the goalie decision.  How did Pavelec react to the news?  How hard it it for a guy who has been here since team relocated to not be part of this team moving forward?  Does this show the depth the organization now has? How would he describe the Jets blueline?  Filling the Trouba void by committee?  When he looks at Morrissey what has he seen in his growth?  Was Tanev long shot to make the team?  On telling the young players they are in the NHL.  Injury updates for Stafford and Matthias.  Is there a clear cut #1 goalie?  Will it be a tandem?  Does he think its important to establish who is the #1 goalie?  Has he decided who Morrissey will be paired with?  Expectations for the Jets this year.
