Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff reflects on day 2 of 2021 NHL Draft

Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff spoke following the conclusion of the virtual NHL Draft in which his squad made a total of four selections.

1) Drafting players from Russia/Eastern Europe.
2) What is his scouting report on Dmitry Kuzmin and will he play in Flint?
3) Is Dmitri Rashevsky the most interesting draft choice he has ever made?
4) Drafting players for the future (not expecting a quick progression).
5) Replenishing the forward pool for the Jets.
6) Importance of young ELC players in the organization.
7) Is there one thing that caused the staff to want to draft Nikita Chibrikov unanimously?
8) What is the goalie market like and what is status of negotiations with Laurent Brossoit?
9) How consistent were rounds 2-7 from their list?

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.
