Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff on day 1 of training camp

On day 1 of Jets training camp the day concluded with a conference call with the GM of the team Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Scrum topics:  Did any of the staff opt out?  Will he be in the bubble?  Why is an NHL re-start a good idea?  Roster clarification for the bubble.  Is there any concern about the number of goalies they have right now?  Is Mikhail Berdin on “standby”?  What took players to come back to Winnipeg considering how few COVID cases there were during Phase 2?  Has he considered not being able to celebrate with more people than those allowed in the bubble if the Jets go on a historic run?  What are the differences between a five and seven game series?  Excitement he feels to be able to see the “best version” of the team he has built.  Has he begun conversations with any of his players who would be in need of a new contract?  On the organization making the process run smoothly so far in the Return to Play.  How would he compare his role during the pause to a normal off season?  Why is 2019 1st rounder Ville Heinola not on the training camp roster?  On being part of the 24 team re-start.  What are some of the experiences his group can draw from in their last two playoff appearances?   What is it like not to have Bryan Little as part of the roster?

And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
