Winnipeg Jets newest signee Tucker Poolman scrum pre Jets & Ducks game

Prior to puck drop between the Jets and Ducks newest signee Tucker Poolman spoke.

Tucker Poolman:  Initial thoughts to signing with the Jets.  What have the last few days been like?  On signing with Jets as opposed to becoming a UFA.  Timeline on the surgery he is having?  On the opportunities that GM Cheveldayoff offered for next year.  What were the biggest benefits to playing his Junior year at UND?  What was it like playing on same team as his brother?  Missing the end of the Fighting Hawks season.  On what he sees on the Jets backend.  Good opportunity to be close to home.  How would he describe his style and what area of his game most improved this season?  On the cancelling of the UND women’s program.  On getting to meet some of the Jets players.  On being a late bloomer.  On what excites him about the Jets.  Where is the surgery taking place?  On finishing off his degree.  Importance of finishing school.  Is he surprised by all the hype?
