Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff pre-draft chat

Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff met with the media a day in advance of the draft.  Listen here:

GM Cheveldayoff – Whether GMs are less likely to make moves due to depth of draft.  Will he be interviewing UFAs now that the interview period is open.  Whether the interview period could be of benefit with their UFA negotiations?  Enough going on this week for him?  Trying to get into the top 10.  On three college players possibly going in top 10, is this a trend or an anomaly?  Interviewing prospects still?  What happens in a second interview with the same player (what may be different that you are looking for)?  Does he have any “oddball” questions that he asks the prospects?  Update on Burmistrov?  Is he looking to sit down with Frolik this week?  His thoughts on the schedule.  His thoughts on the 3 on 3 OT.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
