Winnipeg Jets coach Rick Bowness on day 17 of training camp

The Jets hit the ice for the last time this weekend before they have a few days off. Following skate we heard from Jets head coach Rick Bowness who gave an update on Ville Heinola and touched on a number of other topics including:

1) Ville Heinola update.
2) Is there a more definite timeline cause it’s a fracture? (:28)
3) What does he say to Ville? (:59)
4) Is surgery a possibility? (:1:31)
5) Does he see Nate Schmidt paired up with Dillon? (1:56)
6) Was it always in the plan that Nikolaj Ehlers wasn’t going to skate today? (2:41)
7) Need for additional roster moves? (3:21)
8) Did Parker Ford raise his stock this camp? (4:02)
9) Does he feel like he’s got a good grasp on his team? (4:59)
10) Thoughts on the top power play unit? (5:47)
