Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff end of season press conference

The Jets GM met with the media for his end of season interview for the 2016 season.

Topics:  Biggest priority for Jets this off season.  Bringing Kyle Connor into the fold.  The way Kyle Connor announced his signing.  Describing Kyle Connor’s ELC.  Why should fans have faith in the Jets plan?  Was he told how much to spend this year or was that his call?  Is Jaime Phillips under consideration for a contract?  Any level of concern with the youth being exposed to a losing environment with the Jets and Moose.  Did he expect this team to be a playoff team this season?  Does he need more veteran talent to balance the youth?  Does he get the feeling that the young guys realize how many spots are available next season?  His thoughts on the current draft lottery model?  The team’s coaching staff and a potential deficiency on special teams.  Season that Tucker Poolman had with UND and what may happen in the future?
