Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game press conference

The Jets cut down their roster yesterday and coach Noel spoke with the media prior to tonight’s contest against the Oilers.

Coach NoelThoughts on Jacob Trouba.  What he would like to see in tonight’s game.  His thoughts on his lines.  Is there a science to putting guys together?  All the moving parts of training camp.  Special teams focus. Is Eric O’Dell doing his part to fit in?  Similarities between the Jets and Oilers?  What is the ceiling on Grant Clitsome?  Expectations for Clitsome.  As a coach, how does he decide who should get more ice time?  Which goalie is he planning on using tonight?
